In the meantime the airport stopped arrivals causing a number of aircraft to divert. The aircraft subsequently returned to Ezeiza for a safe landing on runway 11 at a higher than normal speed (about 160 knots over ground) about 30 minutes after departure and vacated the runway. Passengers reported the captain announced a "technical problem", they believe it was a problem with one of the engines (CFM56) possibly related to hydraulics.

Argentina's JST announced they have opened an investigation into
