The boss of Singapore Airlines has broken their silence after a British passenger died on board a horror flight.
73-year-old Geoff Kitchen died when flight SQ321 hit severe turbulence and plunged 6,000 ft as they travelled from Heathrow to Singapore.
Mr Kitchen died of a suspected heart attack, according to a spokesman for Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi Airport. The spokesman added that seven other people were seriously hurt and dozens more suffered minor injuries in the incident before a diversion and emergency landing at the airport.
In a video statement posted on Facebook, Singapore Airlines chief Goh Choon Phong said he offered his “deepest condolences” to Mr Kitchen’s family. “We are deeply saddened by this incident,” he said.
“On behalf of Singapore Airlines, I would like to express my deepest condolences to the family and loved ones of the deceased. We are very sorry for the traumatic experience that everyone on board SQ321 went through. We are fully co-operating with the relevant authorities on the investigations.”
