A Transavia Boeing 737-800, registration PH-HZW performing flight HV-6569 from Amsterdam (Netherlands) to Salzburg (Austria), was enroute at FL410 about 180nm southeast of Amsterdam when the crew turned around and returned the aircraft to Amsterdam. The aircraft maintained FL340 for the return and landed safely on Amsterdam's runway 06 about 75 minutes after departure.

A passenger reported the crew announced one of their computers had a failure and they were returning to Amsterdam. On the ground in Amsterdam the passengers were kept on board for about 3-4 hours while maintenance was attempting to resolve the problem, then they were told the plane needed to be swapped.
