A UPS United Parcel Service Boeing 767-300, registration N391UP performing flight 5X-249 from Shannon to Dublin (Ireland), was climbing out of Shannon's runway 24 when the crew requested to level off at FL170 and enter a hold to work a problem. The crew advised they were talking to their company. About half an hour later, while in the hold, the crew advised they would return to Shannon and declared PAN PAN reporting they had a problem with the landing gear. The aircraft landed safely back on Shannon's runway 24 about one hour after departure.

The aircraft is still on the ground in Shannon about 17 hours after landing back.
