There was an unusual incident at Austrian Airlines on New Year's Day: As a water pipe had broken on board, a replacement aircraft had to be organized in Vienna-Schwechat.
Kronen Zeitung als bevorzugte Google-Quelle hinzufügen As the aviation magazine Austrian Wings reported on Wednesday evening, the Airbus A321 was due to take off from Vienna-Schwechat to Amsterdam at 2.50 pm. However, a water pipe broke while filling the water tanks. Such a technical defect is rather rare.
As the aircraft could not fly to the Netherlands with the broken water pipe, a replacement aircraft was sought - and eventually found. With a delay of around two and a half hours, the plane was able to take off from runway 29 in Vienna at 5.18 pm.
According to the aviation magazine, the return flight was delayed by around one and a half hours. The incident is described as "curious" in a press release.
