"The component examination and test report detailing the findings is still pending," the bureau said, adding that the TSIB will make public its final report upon completion of the investigation.

SIA flight SQ321 had been flying from London to Singapore on May 21, 2024, when it encountered severe turbulence over the south of Myanmar at 37,000 feet.

The TSIB comes under the Ministry of Transport (MOT).
