A 28-year-old Airbus A340 turned around over Rotterdam and returned to Frankfurt.
Today, the Lufthansa flight LH432 departed Frankfurt, Germany to Chicago, IL at 17:30 CEST.
The old Airbus A340-300 (registration D-AIGM) stopped the climb at only 23,000 feet due to a technical issue.
Pilots required an immediate return to FRA Airport. The aircraft circled for a while, probably dumped fuel in order to reduce to weight.
It landed on runway 25C almost 2 hours after departure. The airline confirms the diversion but didn’t yet scheduled a new departure time.
