An Air Canada Airbus A330-300, registration C-GFAH performing flight AC-885 from Paris Charles de Gaulle (France) to Montreal,QC (Canada), was enroute at FL360 about 600nm west of Brest (France) when the crew decided to abort the flight due to a hydraulic failure. The crew requested to divert to London, however, was denied while already in UK airspace near Plymouth,EN (UK) and therefore set course for a return to Paris. The aircraft landed safely back in Paris about 4.5 hours after departure.

A passenger reported the captain announced about 2.5 hours into the flight they were diverting to London due to a hydraulic failure, subsequently announced that they were refused by ATC and were now returning to Paris.
