A Finnair Airbus A320-200, registration OH-LXF performing flight AY-1255 from Helsinki (Finland) to Budapest (Hungary), was climbing through about FL210 out of Helsinki when the aircraft received a lightning strike prompting the crew to stop the climb at about FL225 and return to Helsinki for a safe landing on runway 22L about 35 minutes after departure.

The rotation was cancelled.

The aircraft returned to service about 20.5 hours after landing back.
