A Hawaiian Airlines flight from Phoenix to Honolulu was hit by severe turbulence, resulting in at least 36 injuries, 11 of which were serious.
On Sunday, the incident took place just before the aircraft, which was carrying 278 passengers and 10 crew, came in to land.
Twenty people were transported to nearby hospitals with injuries ranging from head injuries to lacerations, bruises, and loss of consciousness.
At the time of the turbulence, there were reports of thunderstorms in the region.
On Sunday at 10:50 (20:50 GMT), flight HA35 touched down at Daniel K. Inouye International Airport.
In a statement from Hawaiian Airlines read: “Medical care was provided to several guests & crew members at the airport for minor injuries while some were swiftly transported to local hospitals for further care.”
Of the 20 people taken to hospital, 17 were passengers and three were crew members. A 14-month-old baby and a teenager are among them.
The airline said it was conducting a “thorough investigation” of the plane – an Airbus A330 – before it returns to service.
