Airport spokeswoman Jasmin Bodmer says the Airbus 320 landed Friday at 8:25 a.m. local time (0625 GMT) and passengers were able to exit the aircraft normally.

Lufthansa spokesman Peter Schneckenleitner says the crew's decision to divert to the Swiss city was "purely a precautionary" measure and there was no risk to the 85 passengers or six staff at any time.

Schneckenleitner told The Associated Press that three crew members were taken to hospital complaining of respiratory irritations.

He says passengers are being rebooked onto other flights to Madrid.
