An Aeromexico Boeing 787-8, registration N966AM performing flight
AM-179 from Tijuana to Mexico City (Mexico), departed Tijuana's runway 27, climbed to FL390 enroute and at 18:50L (23:50Z) entered a number of holds on descent to Mexico City descending from FL270 to FL200 leaving the holds at about 19:15L (00:15Z Apr 22nd). The aircraft landed subsequently on Mexico City's runway 05R at 19:29L (00:29Z).
A post flight inspection revealed damage to the nose cone, left and right wing landing lights and multiple penetrations of flaps presumably caused by ice.
The aircraft is still on the ground in Mexico City more than 8 days later.
