A German airline Lufthansa <\/strong>flight, which experienced “significant turbulence” at 37,000 feet, was diverted to Washington-Dulles International Airport and seven people on board were taken to area hospitals, officials said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Flight 469 operated by an Airbus A330-300, which took off from Austin, Texas, and was bound for Frankfurt, Germany, landed safely Wednesday at 9:10 p.m. at Dulles Airport, according to Michael Cabbage, spokesman for the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seven people were taken to hospitals with minor injuries, according to Cabbage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“A brief but severe turbulence occurred about 90 minutes after takeoff and resulted in minor injuries to some passengers,” Lufthansa said in a statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“This was so-called clear air turbulence, which can occur without visible weather phenomena or advance warning,” the airline added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
