Singapore Airlines is offering initial compensation of $25,000 to some of the passengers on a flight from London last month that suffered severe turbulence, leading to one death and multiple severe injuries.
Those with injuries requiring long-term medical care have been offered an advance payment of $25,000. For those who suffered minor injuries in the May 21 incident, the airline has offered $10,000. The carrier said in a social media post on Tuesday that it had sent the offers to passengers on June 10.
A law firm representing some of the passengers said it was advising everyone to seek legal advice before signing anything with Singapore Airlines.
