Widow of British passenger who died after SQ321 turbulence sues Singapore Airlines
Linda Kitchen, 74, suffered a broken back in the May 2024 incident and is seeking damages to fund specialist support, the BBC reported.
Linda Kitchen, aged 74, is suing Singapore Airlines following the death of her husband Geoff Kitchen, also 73, on board flight SQ321 in May 2024. The turbulence caused severe injuries to Mrs Kitchen, who broke her back, and she has filed legal proceedings in Britain to seek damages for her recovery. The incident occurred when the plane encountered severe turbulence over Myanmar while en route to Singapore from London.
Mrs Kitchen, her husband, and several other passengers suffered injuries. Singapore Airlines, on the other hand, declined to comment on the court proceedings. The Transport Safety Investigation Bureau found that the aircraft’s weather radar did not detect the bad weather before the turbulence struck.
