Two aviation experts say the occurrence of two major air turbulence incidents within a week are not linked and many of the problems endured by passengers can be easily avoided.

On May 27, 12 passengers and crew suffered injuries after a Qatar Airways flight from Doha to Dublin encountered strong turbulence, while on May 22, one man died and several passengers were injured after a Singapore Airlines plane encountered extreme turbulence en route to London.
