Ten passengers and crew on a Latam Airlines Group SA flight were hospitalized after the plane encountered unexpected turbulence en route from Sydney to Auckland.

Flight LA800, a 787 Dreamliner from Boeing Co., experienced a “technical event during the flight which caused a strong movement,” the carrier said in a statement. While no one was seriously injured, seven passengers and three members of the cabin crew were taken to hospital after the flight landed in Auckland, Latam said.
