Multiple people have reportedly been injured after a China Eastern Airlines plane hit turbulence coming into Sydney International Airport, according to Australian media. Emergency services are working at the scene.

Paramedics have confirmed that they are treating 10 passengers for minor injuries, MyGC.com.au reported.
