An Air New Zealand domestic flight NZ607 from Wellington to Queenstown experienced severe turbulence on Jun. 16, resulting in a passenger and a crew member getting injured.
The passenger was scalded by a pot of hot coffee on a service trolley, while the crew member hit the ceiling.
The experience of the injured passenger, who had her seat belt on, was reported by RNZ.
The plane apparently experienced a small jolt during drink service about 15 minutes into the flight, and it was followed by a “massive jolt”.
The trolley moved about in the aisle, spilling hot coffee from the pot onto the passenger's abdomen and back.
The injured passenger poured a bottle of cold water on herself after being scalded.
A paramedic who was sitting behind her attended to her.
New Zealand media outlet Crux reported that a cabin crew member said she hit the ceiling, New Zealand Herald reported.
The airline said in a statement to Crux that "a customer and crew member were injured during turbulence on NZ607".
The passengers were apparently told there would be bumps on the flight.
