An Air Caledonie International (also known as Aircalin) Airbus A330-900N, registration F-ONET performing flight
SB-800 from Noumea (New Caledonia) to Tokyo Narita (Japan) with 173 people on board, was on approach to Tokyo when the crew stopped the descent at 4000 feet reporting problems with the flaps. The aircraft entered a hold at 4000 feet, in between also 5000 feet, while the crew worked the related checklists and prepared for landing. The aircraft subsequently landed on Narita's runway 34L at a higher than normal speed (160 knots over ground) about 35 minutes later.
The aircraft is still on the ground in Tokyo about 16.5 hours after landing.
