An Indigo Boeing 787-9, registration LN-LNR performing flight 6E-22 from Amsterdam (Netherlands) to Mumbai (India), was climbing out of Amsterdam's runway 18L cleared to climb to FL130 when the crew requested to stop climb at FL100 advising of a technical issue. Subsequently the crew requested to stop their climb at FL080 stating they had technical issues with their landing gear, it did not totally retract. The aircraft was cleared for FL080, dumped fuel and subsequently returned to Amsterdam for a safe landing on runway 18R about one hour after departure.

Ground observers reported the aircraft sounded like a turboprop on climbing out.

The aircraft remained on the ground for about 2 hours, then departed again and is currently estimated to reach Mumbai with a delay of about 3 hours.
