| BONZA BOEING 737 MAX 8 VH-UIK (MSN 43975) |
Bonza flight AB626 departed Rockhampton (ROK/YBRK) 20 minutes late at 3.55pm from runway 33 on Tuesday to make its way to the Sunshine Coast (MCY/YBSU) landing there on runway 13 at 4.40pm.
During the flight the aircraft experienced “unexpected and very severe turbulence” which led to some staff receiving injuries, Bonza Chief Executive Tim Jordon said. He confirmed the plane was later able to safely land at Sunshine Coast Airport.
“At this time, no customers have presented with injuries and the cabin crew are currently being assessed by medical professionals,” he said.
“Our priority is always the safety of our staff and customers, and we will be supporting our cabin crew legends as they need.” The airline boss did not detail how many cabin crew members were injured or the extent of the injuries.
The aircraft was being assessed and a scheduled flight from the Sunshine Coast to Mildura (MQL/YMIA), AB603, had been cancelled.
