A Lufthansa Airbus A350-900, registration D-AIXO performing flight LH-640 from Munich (Germany) to Riyadh (Saudi Arabia), was enroute at FL410 over Montenegro when the crew descended the aircraft to FL200 due to a cracked windshield. After initially setting course towards Belgrad (Serbia) the aircraft turned north to return to Munich and landed safely back on Munich's runway 26R about 3 hours after departure.

The rotation was cancelled.

The aircraft returned to service about 15.5 hours after landing back.
