An Aeromexico Boeing 787-8, registration N967AM performing flight AM-647 from Los Angeles,CA (USA) to Mexico City (Mexico), was climbing through FL290 out of Los Angeles just about to cross the border to Mexico when the crew declared PAN PAN PAN and decided to return to Los Angeles. The crew descended the aircraft to FL280 and subsequently advised they had problems to control the airplane, upon query by the air traffic controller the crew reported the autopilot was still engaged, they had a lot of alarms ongoing however. The aircraft positioned for an approach to Los Angeles's runway 25l, the crew reported again on final approach they had sort of a flight control problem. The aircraft following on final approach was instructed to go around while the B789 was still on short final, the controller reasoned they needed more space behind the landing emergency, other approaches were advised runway 25L was not available and were directed onto runway 25R. The B789 landed safely on runway 25L about 30 minutes after stopping the climb at FL296 and taxied to the apron.

The aircraft is still on the ground in Los Angeles about 8 hours after landing back.
