The injured received medical treatment immediately after the aircraft landed safely at Frankfurt Airport on Tuesday at 9.53am (GMT), according to the airline.<\/p>\n

Lufthansa said the turbulence was “brief” and occurred in an “intertropical convergence zone”, which is a band of low pressure around the Earth.<\/p>\n

A Lufthansa spokesperson told Sky News: “The safety of the flight was never compromised. Lufthansa regrets any inconvenience caused to the passengers.<\/p>\n

“The safety and well-being of passengers and crew members always remains Lufthansa’s top priority.<\/p>\n

“Of course, seat belts must be worn on all Lufthansa flights as a matter of principle – that means, passengers are obliged to fasten their seat belts as soon as they have taken their seats.”<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
