Meanwhile, the pilots managed to successfully land the airliner at the airport.
An Airbus A320 Austrian Airlines plane flying between Mallorca and Vienna was damaged during landing at the Austrian airport. This is reported by the newspaper Kronen Zeitung.
It is known that half an hour before landing the airliner got into a zone of turbulence, and then fell under heavy hail.
The nose of the airplane was damaged, it was actually torn off, and the windows of the cockpit.
The flight was a passenger flight. There were no casualties among those on board, as the newspaper specifies. The damage to the hull is significant.
For how long the Austrian Airlines plane will be taken out for repairs, it is not reported.
"The plane was able to land safely at Vienna-Schwechat airport. All passengers on the flight were not injured. The Austrian Airlines Technik team has already been tasked with a specific damage assessment of the aircraft in question,” the airline's press office said.
In early June, a pilot performing aerobatics died at an air show in Portugal. A man was sucked into an airplane engine at Amsterdam airport at the end of May.
