An Airbus airplane was forced to turn back to New York 90 minutes into a flight to Paris, Air France said Monday.

The Air France A380 turned back due to a “minor incident,” the airline said, refusing to say what the technical hitch was.

Airbus also declined to specify what caused the plane to turn back, saying the incident was an issue for the Air France maintenance team not the aircraft’s manufacturer.

The pilots made the decision to turn back “in strict accordance with procedures and as a precautionary measure… following a minor technical problem in order to carry out ground checks,” Air France said.

The plane landed at New York’s John F. Kennedy International airport “without incident” at 10:17 p.m. ET on Friday, November 27, Air France said. The plane was serviced and later completed its transatlantic journey, the airline said.

Air France had begun flying the brand-new A380 across the Atlantic only days before, Airbus said.

Its inaugural commercial flight from Paris’ Charles de Gaulle airport to JFK was on November 21.
