Safety record

Accident & incident history

2024-02-10 Accident · Kelsey, NY Serious injury NTSB · DCA24LA097
Reported aircraft: Boeing 777-222ER
Probable cause: The airplane s encounter with an unanticipated localized region of moderate-to-severe turbulence while in instrument meteorological conditions (IMC) associated with strong upper-level wind shear and convective cells. Contributing to the severity of the outcome was the failure of air traffic control to disseminate a recently reported moderate turbulence pilot weather report, which reduced the flight crew s situational awareness and opportunity to prepare the cabin for the encounter.
