A TUI Airlines Nederland Boeing 767-300 on behalf of ASL Airlines Belgium, registration PH-OYI performing flight 3V-909P from Amsterdam (Netherlands) to Las Vegas Nellis Airbase, NV (USA), was enroute at FL380 about 20nm east of Leeds,EN (UK) when the crew decided to return to Amsterdam reporting problems with the FMS (Flight Management System) prompting ATC to query whether they would be able to navigate directly to SPY, which the crew affirmed. The aircraft performed a normal descent towards Amsterdam, intercepted the ILS for runway 18C and landed safely on runway 18C about 80 minutes after departure.

The aircraft remained on the ground for about 20.5 hours, then departed again and is currently enroute on the way to Nellis Airbase.
