CALGARY - Three West Jet flight attendants were taken to hospital Saturday after an aircraft suddenly dropped for a few seconds when it hit an air pocket.

No passengers were injured.
The flight attendants were rushed to a Calgary hospital as soon as the plane landed. Three ambulances were waiting next to the runway.
Medical staff said the women had neck and back pain, but the extent of their injuries was not clear.
