Vienna: A hailstorm badly damaged a passenger plane approaching Vienna on Sunday, the airline said, as Austria grappled with violent thunderstorms and widespread flooding.
Hail broke off part of the nose and left cracks in the cockpit windows of the Austrian Airlines aircraft, which was carrying holidaymakers back from Palma de Mallorca.
After issuing a distress call, the plane landed safely at Vienna airport.
None of the passengers or crew were injured in the incident. The airline did not say how many people were on board.
"According to the cockpit crew, the storm was not visible on the weather radar," the airline said in a statement sent to AFP on Monday.
