- The airline reportedly lacked protective lids for cups.

A nurse has secured a £4,350 settlement following a scalding incident involving hot coffee on a Ryanair flight. The passenger, Denise Elliott, a 63-year-old from Southsea, Hampshire, stated she was injured on a flight traveling from Bournemouth to Majorca.
According to reports, Elliott was informed that protective cup lids were unavailable on the plane at the time of the incident. She expressed concern about what might have happened to someone without first aid knowledge, such as a child or an elderly person.
Lawyers for Ms. Elliott confirmed that Ryanair denied any liability for her injuries. Nevertheless, the airline paid the settlement sum to their client prior to the matter proceeding to a court hearing. Ryanair has been approached for comment.
