During severe turbulence, what is expected of the cabin crew regarding hot beverages?

During severe turbulence, the safety of passengers and crew is the priority, which is why the correct approach is to remove hot beverages from service. Serving hot beverages during periods of turbulence poses significant risks; they can spill and cause burns or injuries to passengers and crew members. Moreover, the unpredictable nature of turbulence can lead to instability in the cabin, making it difficult to serve or handle hot liquids safely.

Other options do not prioritize safety effectively. Serving hot beverages as usual would ignore the dangers posed during severe turbulence. Allowing passengers to hold hot drinks increases the likelihood of spills, which can lead to burns and serve as a distraction during an already stressful situation. Providing only cold beverages might seem less risky, but the safest option during severe turbulence is to halt the service of hot beverages altogether to ensure the well-being of everyone on board.
