Flight turns back after turbulence leaves cabin crew with concussion

A transatlantic flight to New York had to turn back after encountering strong turbulence that left three crew members with concussion, the airline said.

Air France flight AF006 took off from Paris Charles de Gaulle but encountered "strong turbulence" over northern England.

The Airbus A380 was forced to turn back to Paris where the aircraft landed normally.

The airline said three cabin crew members suffered concussion and were treated after the aircraft landed.

Passengers were also assessed by medical crew but none were found to be injured.
