Some of the air passengers were thrown off from their seats when the air craft hit the air pocket. 20 of them suffered minor injuries and were given first aid on their arrival at the Cochin International Airport at Nedumbassery. There were 350 passengers and 14 crew members in the aircraft. The aircraft also suffered damages.
