Twelve people have been injured due to turbulence on a flight from Doha to Dublin.
The Boeing 787-9 dreamliner experienced turbulence while airborne over Turkey, the operator of Dublin Airport, the DAA, said.
Upon landing shortly before 13:00 local time, Qatar Airways flight QR017 was met by emergency services including airport police, ambulance and fire officers.
Six passengers and six crew members have reported injuries – of these, eight people have been taken to hospital.
“The Dublin Airport team continues to provide full assistance on the ground to passengers and airline staff,” a DAA spokesperson said.
Operations at the airport are unaffected, the DAA added, and the return flight is scheduled to operate as normal this afternoon, “albeit with a delay”.
The National Ambulance Service said it received a pre-alert to attend the airport and is “currently on site facilitating and supporting the disembarkment of passengers”.
Qatar Airways told BBC News NI in a statement that “a small number of passengers and crew sustained minor injuries in flight and are now receiving medical attention”.
It added: “The matter is now subject to an internal investigation.”
The incident follows the death of a 73-year-old British man on a Singapore-bound flight which experienced severe turbulence earlier this week.
More than 100 people were injured, 20 of whom are in intensive care with spinal injuries.
Singapore Airlines CEO Goh Choon Phong apologised, offering his “deepest apologies to everyone affected” by the “sudden extreme turbulence”.
Singapore’s government has promised a thorough investigation.
