Problems arose shortly after the start shortly before 5 p.m., as reported by the “Austrian Wings” portal. The pilots therefore turned around for safety reasons and, after waiting in a queue, landed again at Vienna-Schwechat Airport one hour after take-off. The reason for the unscheduled return was a collision with a bird. The aircraft is now being technically checked and affected passengers will be rebooked, it said. The flight from New York to Vienna planned for Sunday also had to be cancelled.
