The crew declined a query by ATC to climb to 7000 feet for a hold stating "unable". The aircraft entered a hold to burn off fuel and returned to Hong Kong for a safe landing on runway 07L about 70 minutes after departure.

The aircraft remained on the ground for 23 hours, then departed as flight TR-2067D and reached Singapore with a delay of 24 hours.
