VIENNA – A passenger aircraft with 80 people on board has landed safely despite losing a wheel after touching down in Vienna.

Austrian Airlines officials said the Bombardier aircraft lost one of two right-side wheels while landing Monday afternoon. They said none of the 76 passengers or four crew members were hurt or in danger during landing.

The Vienna-bound flight originated from Florence, Italy. Other scheduled landings were delayed until the aircraft was removed from the runway.
