An Air France Boeing 777-300, registration F-GSQY performing flight
AF-454 from Paris Charles de Gaulle (France) to Sao Paulo Guarulhos,SP (Brazil), was enroute at FL310 about 360nm southwest of Paris over the Bay of Biscay when the crew detected an engine (GE90) oil leak and decided to return to Paris. The crew shut the engine down, drifted down to FL180 and landed back in Paris on runway 08L about one hour after leaving FL310.
A replacement Boeing 777-300 registration F-GZND departed Paris the following morning about 10 hours after F-GSQY landed back and is estimated to reach Sao Paulo with a delay of 11 hours.
