SYDNEY — A Delta Air Lines flight from Los Angeles encountered turbulence shortly before landing in Sydney on Friday morning, injuring flight attendants who were taken to hospital. The Airbus A350 flight landed just after 6:40 a.m. local time carrying 245 passengers and 15 crew members.

Four flight attendants reported injuries from the brief turbulence during the aircraft's descent into Sydney, according to a Delta spokesperson. Three flight attendants sought further medical evaluation for their injuries and were transported to Royal Prince Alfred Hospital for treatment. All flight attendants who sought further evaluation have since been released from the hospital, according to a Delta spokesperson.

Paramedics assessed five people at the scene, according to a spokesperson for the New South Wales Ambulance Service. The three people transported to the hospital suffered minor injuries and remained in stable condition. None of the passengers aboard the flight reported injuries, according to a Delta spokesperson.

The patients asked that no details be provided to the media, according to a spokesperson for the Sydney Local Health District. Hospital officials declined to provide additional information about the nature of the injuries or treatment provided.

Turbulence is common on many flights. Over the past year, several people have been injured after flights from multiple airlines experienced turbulence. In July, 25 people were taken to hospital after a Delta flight from Utah to Amsterdam experienced turbulence and had to land in Minneapolis. In September, three flight attendants suffered minor injuries during a Delta flight from Ecuador to Atlanta that encountered turbulence.

Convective storms are the most common cause of turbulence on flights around Sydney. These storms are becoming more common in Australia as the climate warms, contributing to increased turbulence incidents in the region.
