A passenger reported they noticed that the aircraft stopped climbing and appeared to be holding. About 20 minutes the crew announced there was a problem with one of the engine's computers and they needed to return to Hurghada. About 50 minutes after landing passengers disembarked, were supplied with food and accomodation for the night.
The airline reported the aircraft returned due to technical irregularity. The problem could be repaired within a few hours, however, due to the night curfew in Zurich the aircraft could not depart anymore and the flight was postponed to the next morning.
The aircraft departed Hurghada the following morning and reached Zurich with a delay of about 24 hours.
