Russia and the US have staged their biggest spy swap since the Cold War, defusing an espionage drama that threatened improved relations.
One plane brought 10 Russian agents deported from the US after a court hearing at which they admitted being agents for a foreign country.
The other was said to have brought four people convicted of spying in Russia but given a presidential pardon after they signed to admit their guilt.
Both planes took off again after about 90 minutes.
The Russian Yakovlev Yak-42 plane said to be carrying the four people pardoned by Moscow had landed at Vienna airport at about the same time as the Vision Airlines Boeing 767-200 from New York, carrying the Russian agents.
