Twenty-four people were injured after a “technical problem” caused strong movement on a LATAM Airlines flight from Sydney to Auckland, the New Zealand Herald reported on Monday.
“The plane landed at Auckland Airport as scheduled. As a result of the incident, some passengers and cabin crew were affected. They received immediate assistance and were evaluated or treated by medical staff at the airport as needed,” a LATAM spokesperson told the newspaper.
The flight involved was LA800, the report said. It was flown by a Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner, according to data from flight tracking service Flightaware.
Boeing and LATAM did not immediately respond to Reuters’ requests for comment.
