A KLM Boeing 737-800, registration PH-BXE performing flight KL-1503 from Amsterdam (Netherlands) to Madrid,SP (Spain), was enroute at FL310 about 20nm southwest of Brussels (Belgium) when the crew decided to return to Amsterdam due to a possible fuel leak. On approach to Amsterdam the crew advised they had ruled out a fuel leak but had a "very red indication" and that's why they were returning. The aircraft landed safely on Amsterdam's runway 27 about one hour after departure.
A replacement Boeing 737-800 registration PH-BCA reached Madrid with a delay of about 3:40 hours.
The aircraft resumed service after about 4.5 hours after landing back.
