A Kiwi flight attendant has been injured after a severe bout of turbulence on an Air New Zealand plane travelling from Nelson to Christchurch.
The attendant suffered the injuries on flight NZ8527 on October 19 aboard a Bombardier Q300 aircraft.
A spokeswoman for the airline said no passengers were hurt and paramedics assessed the attendant's injuries after the plane touched down, but could not confirm the nature of the injuries due to privacy.
Only nine days earlier, on October 10, four people were hurt when an Air New Zealand flight from Ho Chi Minh City to Auckland hit serve turbulence.
Passengers on board flight NZ268 described it as a "flight from hell".
