A Delta Airlines Airbus A330-300, registration N814NW performing flight DL-99 from Paris Charles de Gaulle (France) to Detroit,MI (USA), was climbing out of Paris when the crew attempted to solve a problem with the flaps while continuing the climb but needed to stop the climb at FL260 over the English Channel. The aircraft entered a hold to burn off fuel and diverted to Amsterdam (Netherlands) for a safe landing on runway 06 at a normal speed about 5 hours after departure.

The airline confirmed the flaps could not be fully retracted after departure from Paris.
