A passenger aircraft with 80 people on board lost a wheel after touching down in Vienna.

Associated Press reports that the Austrian Airlines plane lost one of its two right-side wheels on Monday afternoon, but landed safely.

Austrian Airlines officials say none of the 76 passengers or four crew members were hurt or in danger during landing.

The Vienna-bound flight originated from Florence, Italy and other scheduled landings were delayed until the plane was removed from the runway.

The aircraft is currently being inspected for clues as to what caused the mishap.
