Crew ok, no grave pax either.

Seemingly, 3 members of the crew were among the injured.

The plane could make it to land without problems and 5 of the injured were taken to city hospitals for observation whereas other 23 were conveyed to nearby clinics as they suffered contusions and in order to search for likely fractures.

According to a passenger statement afterwards, it happened all of a sudden even preventing the crew to switch on the "fasten your seatbelts" light, and panic took place in the cabin.

There were people from different nationalities among the passengers such as Spaniards, Englishmen, Dutchmen, Germans, Italians, Belgians and Peruvians.
