An Air India Boeing 787-8, registration VT-NAC performing flight AI-315 from Hong Kong (China) to Delhi (India), was climbing out of Hong Kong when the crew stopped the climb at FL220 advising ATC they needed to stay close to the airport and did not want to continue enroute, they would likely return to Hong Kong. After working the related checklists the crew told ATC, they had a fuel filter problem for the right hand engine (GEnx) and were ready for a return to Hong Kong. The aircraft landed safely on Hong Kong's runway 25R about 40 minutes later.

The flight was cancelled.

The aircraft remained on the ground for about 30 hours, then returned to Delhi as flight AI-1315.
