An acute emergency caused an unplanned stopover on a Swiss flight from Bucharest to Zurich. After a flight of just under an hour, the Airbus turned around and landed in Vienna.

After landing at 6.49 a.m. at Vienna Airport, the passenger concerned was handed over to medical staff.
The remaining 170 passengers were able to take off again an hour later and arrived in Zurich at 8.40 am. The delay was then only 45 minutes.
