LX180 - Incident: Swiss B773 enroute on Jun 4th 2024

A Swiss International Airlines Boeing 777-300, registration HB-JNB performing flight LX-180 from Zurich (Switzerland) to Bangkok (Thailand), was enroute at FL330 over the Black Sea about 2 hours into the flight when the crew decided to turn around and return to Zurich due to the failure of their weather radar systems and poor weather in Bangkok. The aircraft landed safely back on Zurich's runway 34 about 4:20 hours after departure.

The airline reported the aircraft returned due to a failed weather radar and expected thunderstorms in Bangkok. The passengers have been taken to hotels and rebooked onto other flights.
