An Avianca flight from Medellín, Colombia, to New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport diverted to Miami early Friday after encountering severe turbulence, injuring passengers and crew members.
The Airbus A320 landed safely at Miami International Airport shortly after 3 a.m. Miami-Dade Fire Rescue said one person with severe injuries was taken to a trauma center and seven others were transported by ambulance to area hospitals.
Avianca said nine people were affected in total: six passengers and three cabin crew members. Colombia One reported that one affected person did not require hospital treatment.
Flight AV042 had departed Medellín late Thursday and was traveling over the Caribbean when the turbulence occurred. Flight-tracking data cited by Colombia One indicated that the aircraft descended about 25,000 feet within minutes, but authorities did not provide details about the weather conditions or the cause of the turbulence.
The Federal Aviation Administration confirmed the flight’s diversion. Avianca said it activated assistance procedures for those affected and rebooked uninjured passengers on other flights to continue their journeys to New York.

WHAT IT FLAGGED editor revise: Two unsupported/inferred statements can be fixed with source attribution and by removing unsupported attribution to the New York Post. - "The difference between that figure and the eight people hospitalized indicates that one affected person did not require hospital treatment.": This is stated as the writer's inference; it should be attributed to a source that reports it. - "Flight-tracking data cited by Colombia One and the New York Post indicated that the aircraft descended about 25,000 feet within minutes": The provided New York Post material does not include flight-tracking data or the timing of the descent; only Colombia One supports this detail.
