Hong Kong Airlines flight CRK6704, an Airbus 330-223, experienced severe turbulence causing passenger injuries. At about 20:29 UTC, the aircraft landed safely in Denpasar.
Three flight attendants and 12 passengers injured
Contributing Factors
The KNKT concluded the contributing factors are as follows:
- The encountered storm cell that was most likely over scanned by the weather radar could make pilot underestimate or not detect a storm cell and underestimate the turbulence associated to the magenta cell displayed 5 Nm ahead of the aircraft.
- The absence of the turbulence encounters pre-warned resulted in the flight attendants did not prepare to secure the carts nor to be seated with fastened seatbelt.
- The improper fastened of the passenger seatbelt increased the severity of the passenger injury despite the flight crew had ensured the passenger to fasten their seatbelt.
