While the aircraft was on approach to Amsterdam ATC inquired about their "loose door", the crew reaffirmed it was not a loose door, just a door seal, everything was intact and no assistance was needed. The aircraft landed safely on Amsterdam's runway 06 about 50 minutes after the decision to return.

The aircraft remained on the ground in Amsterdam for about 90 minutes, then departed again and is currently enroute over the Atlantic Ocean.
