An American Airlines Boeing 737-800, registration N309PC performing flight AA-2929 from Dallas Ft. Worth,TX (USA) to Merida (Mexico), was on approach to Merida's runway 10 when the crew advised they had a system malfunction and needed to go around. The aircraft climbed back up to 11,000 feet, entered a hold, and after running their checklists the crew advised they had a flaps problem and declared emergency. The aircraft landed on Merida's runway 10 at a higher than normal speed (about 160 knots over ground) about 37 minutes after the go around.

The aircraft is still on the ground in Merida about 35 hours after landing.
