A Swiss International Airlines Airbus A330-300, registration HB-JHC performing flight
LX-154 from Zurich (Switzerland) to Mumbai (India), was enroute at FL350 over Bucharest (Romania) when the crew requested to return to Zurich due to small technical reasons, the company requested them to return to Zurich, operations were normal. The aircraft descended to FL340 initially, later FL260 and entered a first hold at Zurich. The aircraft performed a low approach to runway 16 to have the nose wheels inspected from the ground. Following the low approach tower reported the left nose gear tyre appeared to be smaller/less inflated than the right hand tyre. The aircraft positioned for another approach to runway 16 and landed without further incident about 30 minutes after the low approach and stopped on the runway. The aircraft was towed off the runway about 20 minutes later.
The airline reported following departure of the aircraft parts of tyres were found on the departure runway, that were identified to possibly belong to HB-JHC. The aircraft therefore returned to Zurich for inspection.
