Passengers reported the flight attendants lifted off the floor during the turbulence and struck their heads at the overhead lockers. There had been no warning ahead of the turbulence, the fasten seat belts were not illuminated. Everything loose also took off and struck the ceiling creating a mess throughout the cabin. The cabin ceiling and lockers received some damage as result of the turbulence encounter. The airline confirmed the aircraft encountered unexpected turbulence, three flight attendants received minor injuries. |
