A Swiss International Air Lines flight bound for Zurich from Bucharest made an emergency landing in the Austrian city of Graz because of engine problems and smoke in the cabin and cockpit, the carrier said.
The Airbus A220-300 aircraft involved in Monday's incident was carrying 74 passengers and five crew, Reuters reported. All passengers were evacuated, Swiss said in a statement.
Twelve passengers on flight LX1885 received medical attention and one of the cabin crew was taken to hospital by helicopter, but their condition remains unclear.
The other four crew were also under medical care, Swiss added.
A flight is set to leave Graz on Tuesday morning carrying passengers to Zurich.

The United Nations Security Council authorized an African Union stabilisation and support mission in Somalia - known as AUSSOM - on Friday that will replace a larger AU anti-terrorism operation from Jan. 1, 2025.
Somalia's security has been underwritten by foreign resources since Ethiopia invaded in 2006, toppling the administration but galvanising an insurgency that has since killed tens of thousands of people.
The European Union and United States, the top funders of AU forces in Somalia, wanted to reduce the number of AU peacekeepers due to concerns about long-term financing and sustainability, sources told Reuters in June. Negotiations about the new force had proven complicated, they said.
The United States abstained from the UN Security Council vote on Friday over its funding concerns. The remaining 14 council members voted for the resolution.
