The crew worked the related checklists and performed a safe landing on runway 25C at a normal speed about 25 minutes after aborting the first approach.

A passenger reported the captain announced that they had aborted the approach due to a flaps problem, that was the consequence of a hydraulic failure. In working the related checklists they were able to deploy the flaps as needed using the alternate electrical system. The aircraft landed safely and was received by emergency services following the aircraft to the apron.
