The plane had come from Stuttgart. After that, operations continued normally. The machine will be towed.

According to a spokeswoman for Eurowings, black ice was the cause. The machine had slipped during the parking process. All 89 passengers and crew were able to leave the plane via the stairs and were taken to the terminal by buses.
