(UPDATE) SINGAPORE — Singapore Airlines (SIA) said on Tuesday it had offered $10,000 compensation to passengers who suffered minor injuries on a flight hit by violent turbulence last month and would discuss higher payouts with those more badly hurt.

A 73-year-old Briton died and several other passengers and crew onboard Flight SQ321 from London suffered skull, brain and spine injuries during the terrifying high-altitude ordeal.
