A TUI Airlines Nederland Boeing 787-8, registration PH-TFK performing flight OR-371 from Amsterdam (Netherlands) to Punta Cana (Dominican Republic), was climbing out of Amsterdam when the crew stopped the climb at FL180 and decided to return to Amsterdam reporting door 2L had a small hole in its seal and was increasingly howling. Although pressurization remained normal, they could not continue with this noise for 9 hours. They were landing overweight, so needed a longer runway and requested runway 27 instead of runway 22. The aircraft landed safely on Amsterdam's runway 27 about 45 minutes after departure.

The aircraft remained on the ground for about 90 minutes, then departed again and is estimated to reach the destination with a delay of about 2 hours.
