Malaysia’s national carrier, which is still trying to shake the stigma of the double disasters of MH370 and MH17 two years ago, said “some passengers” were hurt aboard MH1 during a rough ride over the Bay of Bengal on Sunday.
“Due to a brief moment of severe turbulence some passengers suffered minor injuries,” it said in a statement.
“A small number of affected passengers and crew have been treated by medical officers.”
