A Swiss International Airlines Airbus A330-300, registration HB-JHE performing flight LX-52 from Zurich (Switzerland) to Boston,MA (USA), was enroute at FL360 over the Atlantic Ocean about 150nm northwest of Shannon (Ireland) about to enter Oceanic Airspace when the crew decided to return to Zurich due to a problem with one of the engines (Trent 772). The aircraft descended to FL350, later FL310 and landed safely back on Zurich's runway 34 about 4:15 hours after departure.
The airline reported the crew returned as a precaution due to an irregularity with one of the engines.
The rotation LX-52/LX-53 was cancelled.
