An Austrian Airlines Embraer ERJ-195, registration OE-LWL performing flight OS-106 from Innsbruck to Vienna (Austria) with 102 passengers and 5 crew, was accelerating for takeoff from Innsbruck's runway 08 when the crew rejected takeoff at about 80 KIAS due to disagreeing airspeeds. The aircraft slowed safely and returned to the apron.

A passenger reported they were told about a possible bee that might have blocked the left hand pitot tube.

The airline reported the crew observed unreliable airspeed and rejected takeoff. The cause was a bee blocking one of the pitot probes.

The passengers were taken to Vienna on flight OS-108, an Airbus A321-200 registration OE-LBF, which reached Vienna with a delay of about 4.5 hours.
