JAKARTA - Austrian Airways flights face snowstorm shocks at an altitude of 18,000 feet before landing at Vienna International Airport.

ABC News said in its report that the snowstorm accompanied by lightning occurred about 20 minutes before the plane from Palma de Mallorca, Spain landed.

Due to this extreme weather, passengers experience severe turbulence.

Meanwhile, on the plane, damage occurred to a number of panels and the nose of the aircraft (radome). The windshields or cockpits of the pilot's location determine the direction of the flight cracked

The cracked glass made the pilot's view above the sky very disturbed. It was not clear when he saw the flying direction made the Austrian Airways pilot report a state of emergency.

Even in a state of emergency, the pilots managed to land their planes safely in Vienna using landing system instruments.

It was only when they landed that the passengers who were greeted by the incident handling team knew about the damage to their plane.

Austrian Wings magazine said a snowstorm that the pilot could anticipate was not visible on the Airbus A320 weather radar.

The incident on Monday, June 10 local time is estimated to be detrimental to the airline's hundreds of thousands of pounds. However, it is not clear what will be repaired first.
