On 18 October, an Aerolineas Argentinas Airbus A330 (LV-FNK) from Miami to Buenos Aires as AR1303 experienced severe turbulence during cruise. At the time of the turbulence, passengers were having a meal as trays and trolleys were tossed around in the cabin. 

From the 192 passengers on board, 15 people suffered minor injures. Eight of them were transported to hospital upon arrival at Buenos Aires.

Pictures appeared on social media, you can clearly see damage to ceilings. Another warning to always keep your seatbelt fastened during the flight.

Working for 25 years in the aviation industry, I changed my career and became a firefighter/EMT in 2021. I like to spend my free time with my two sons, girlfriend, family and friends. I love to travel, wine and dine and support my favourite football squad KV Mechelen. Once an Ironman 70.3 finisher and dreaming of completing a full distance.
