Fifty people were hurt, with 12 in hospital, after a flight from Sydney to Auckland suffered what was described as a mid-air "technical event".

The Latam Airlines jet - a Boeing 787 Dreamliner - "just froze" after a "quick little drop", one passenger told the New Zealand Herald.

Emergency services said 12 people were taken to hospital, and one patient was in a serious condition.

Some passengers were thrown out of their seats, causing them to hit their heads on the plane's ceiling.

Further details about the "technical event" or what caused it are still not known.
