In the aftermath of a 2024 Singapore Airlines flight torn apart by sudden turbulence, a British widow named Linda Kitchen has brought her grief and broken body before the High Court, seeking not vengeance but the means to recover. Her husband Geoff did not survive the violent air; she did, but with a fractured spine and a life irrevocably changed. At least seven other passengers have filed parallel claims, and together their cases ask a question that aviation law has long struggled to answer: when nature strikes at altitude, where does an airline's responsibility end and fate's begin?
