SINGAPORE: Meal services on Singapore Airlines (SIA) flights will no longer be suspended when the seat-belt sign lights up, as the national carrier has reverted to standard in-flight procedures 10 weeks after a man died and dozens were injured on the turbulence-hit Flight SQ321.

An SIA spokesperson told The Straits Times that the airline on Thursday (Aug 1) ended a safety time-out that was imposed after the turbulence incident on May 21.
