Vienna Airport told AustrianWings, that the aircraft had lost cabin pressure, the passenger oxygen masks had been released as well. The aircraft landed safely in Vienna, there were no injuries, one person however received medical assistance due to blood pressure problems.
Incident: THY B738 near Salzburg on Nov 28th 2014, cabin pressure problems

There seems to a relatively slow depressurization - the crew seem to have little urgency in the descent. It will be interesting to see what the cause and timeline are in this case.
