Two American Airlines flights experienced severe turbulence, leading to injuries among crew members. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) confirmed that three flight attendants were injured in two separate incidents involving an American Airlines Boeing 777 and an Airbus A319.
On June 6, a Boeing 777-200ER, registered as N793AN, encountered turbulence while operating flight AA37 from Madrid Barajas Airport to Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport. The FAA reported that the aircraft faced severe turbulence shortly before landing in Dallas/Fort Worth at 16:15 local time. Two flight attendants sustained injuries during this incident.
Despite records from the FAA's Aviation Safety Information Analysis and Sharing (ASIAS) systems indicating the event occurred near Memphis, Tennessee, Flightradar24 data showed the plane did not fly over Memphis or Tennessee. Instead, it traveled through several states including New Jersey and Pennsylvania before reaching Texas.
