A Wizz Air Airbus A321-200, registration HA-LXC performing flight W6-1451 from Warsaw (Poland) to Larnaca (Cyprus), was climbing out of Warsaw when the captain stopped the climb at FL100 and decided to return to Warsaw reporting the first officer had been incapacitated. The aircraft landed safely back on runway 33 about 25 minutes after departure.

The airline reported the aircraft returned to Warsaw when the first officer felt reported feeling unwell. A replacement crew performed the flight.

The aircraft remained on the ground for about 4 hours, then departed again and reached Larnaca with a delay of about 4:15 hours.

On Sep 24th 2024 Poland's PKBWL reported the occurrence was rated a serious incident and is being investigated.
