Almost 20 people were injured when a Hong Kong Airlines flight ran into severe turbulence causing the pilot to turn back as it flew from Bali to Hong Kong. The Airbus A330-200 with 204 passengers and 12 crew on board returned to Bali, the Indonesian island, about two and a half hours into the flight. It landed safely at 4.34am local time on Saturday, 8.34pm GMT on Friday. The plane encountered the turbulence above Kalimantan, Indonesia's part of Borneo, the general manager of Bali's Ngurah Rai airport said. A total of 17 people were injured.
