A British Airways Boeing 787-8, registration G-ZBJD performing flight BA-260 from Islamabad (Pakistan) to London Heathrow,EN (UK), was enroute at FL350 about 90nm northwest of Islamabad when the crew initiated a descent to FL230 and subsequently decided to return to Islamabad due to an unusual engine (Trent 1000) noise. The aircraft landed safely back on Islamabad's runway 28L about 90 minutes after departure.

The aircraft departed again the following day about 25 hours after the first departure and reached London with a delay of about 25 hours.
