The aircraft remained on the ground for about two hours for repairs, then departed again but needed to return to Tehran a second time due to the same recurring defect. The aircraft again landed safely about 30 minutes after departure.
Iran's AIB reported a hydraulic pipe was replaced following the first return and the aircraft released to service again, however, had to return a second time due to the same defect. The aircraft was removed from service to have the airline investigate the defect more deeply.
The airline reported the aircraft returned the first time due to a hydraulic defect, which was repaired after landing. Upon second departure an electronic system failed prompting the crew to return a second time as a precaution.
