The airline reported the takeoff was performed with air conditioning systems switched off. Shortly after becoming airborne an unusual odour, not related to smoke or engine oils, was noticed in the aft cabin prompting the flight crew to return to Vienna where the aircraft landed normally. The passengers disembarked normally and were rebooked onto the next flight OS-565, which was operated by a bigger aircraft than scheduled (editorial note: A320 registration OE-LBS). Maintenance is currently examining the aircraft for the source of the odour.
