SINGAPORE: The turbulence that shook a Scoot flight from Singapore to Guangzhou in September 2024, seriously injuring two, was likely caused by a storm cell that did not appear on the plane’s weather radar.

Flight TR100, carrying 339 passengers and bound for Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport, was hit by turbulence during its descent at about 8.40am on Sept 6, 2024. The seat-belt sign was off at the time.
