On a trip from Doha to Dublin, turbulence caused injuries to twelve persons.

Turbulence was encountered by the Boeing 787-9 dreamliner during its flight over Turkey, according to Dublin Airport Authority (DAA) reports.

Emergency personnel, including airport police and fire officers, met Qatar Airways aircraft QR017 as it touched down just before 13:00 local time.

There have been six passenger and six crew members reported injured.

"The Dublin Airport team continues to provide full assistance on the ground to passengers and airline staff," a DAA spokesperson said.

Operations at the airport are unaffected, the DAA added.

The incident follows the death of a 73-year-old British man on a Singapore-bound flight which experienced severe turbulence earlier this week.

More than 100 people were injured, 20 of whom are in intensive care with spinal injuries.

Singapore Airlines CEO Goh Choon Phong apologised, offering his “deepest apologies to everyone affected” by the “sudden extreme turbulence”.

Singapore's government has promised a thorough investigation.
