A UPS United Parcel Service Boeing 767-300, registration N391UP performing flight 5X-6249 from Shannon (Ireland) to Cologne (Germany) with 2 crew, was climbing out of Shannon's runway 24 when the crew requested to stop the climb at FL100 advising they had a mechanical problem and wanted to enter a hold. After about 30 minutes the crew declared PAN PAN stating, they had a hydraulic problem that caused a gear problem. The aircraft returned to Shannon for a safe landing on runway 24 about 45 minutes after departure.
The aircraft, with the same crew at the controls, had returned to Shannon the previous day, too, see Incident: UPS B763 at Shannon on Dec 9th 2025, gear problem on departure.
