An Austrian Airlines Embraer ERJ-195, registration OE-LWH performing flight OS-543 from Vienna (Austria) to Naples (Italy), was climbing out of Vienna's runway 29 when the aircraft received a lightning strike prompting the crew to stop the climb at FL220 and return to Vienna for a safe landing on runway 34 about 40 minutes after departure.

The rotation was cancelled.

The aircraft is still on the ground in Vienna about 50 hours after landing back.
