Three people were taken to hospital after a Delta Air Lines flight from Los Angeles encountered turbulence shortly before landing in Sydney. Paramedics assessed five people and transported three to the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital for further treatment. The passengers, who sustained minor injuries, have requested that no details be disclosed. The most common cause for turbulence on flights around Sydney is convective storms, according to Michael Heisel, a lecturer at The University of Sydney's School of Civil Engineering. The Airbus A350 landed safely and normally at Sydney Airport.
