The aircraft landed safely on Los Angeles' runway 25L about 2.5 hours after departure.

A passenger reported the crew announced a hydraulic fault about one hour into the flight, they were returning to Los Angeles due to forecast snowy/icy conditions in Zurich.

The aircraft is still on the ground in Los Angeles about 18 hours after landing back, but apparently is preparing to depart for Zurich as flight LX-5141.
