British Airways flight BA12, a Boeing 777-336ER, encountered severe turbulence about two hours after takeoff from Singapore.
Unsecured cabin crew were thrown around in the cabin. Two crew members were seriously injured and three sustained
minor injuries. The aircraft returned to Singapore.
Conclusion (re G-STBL and similar accident involvinv G-YMML):
Although the pilots of both aircraft were taking action to avoid weather, each aircraft suffered a turbulence event of sufficient severity to cause injuries amongst the unsecured cabin crew. Route weather forecasts give a general prediction that turbulence is likely but often cannot reflect actual conditions in sufficient detail to enable pilots to avoid specific instances of turbulence. G-YMML was approaching its planned destination and so landed there.
G-STBL returned to its airfield of departure on receipt of medical advice. The safety of the aircraft was not jeopardised.
