An Austrian Airlines Boeing 777-200, registration OE-LPE performing flight OS-81 from Vienna (Austria) to Los Angeles,CA (USA), was climbing out of Vienna’s runway 34 when the crew stopped the climb at 9000 feet due to an unusual odour on board. The aircraft returned to Vienna for a safe landing on runway 34 about 30 minutes after departure.

The airline told Austrianwings the aircraft returned to Vienna due to an unusual odour on board. The rotation needed to be cancelled, the passengers were rebooked onto other flights.
