A THY Turkish Airlines Airbus A321-200, registration TC-JMH performing flight TK-1665 from Istanbul (Turkey) to Hamburg (Germany), was in the initial climb out of Ataturk Airport's runway 35L when the crew stopped the climb at 5000 feet after being unable to retract the landing gear. The aircraft returned to Istanbul for a safe landing on Ataturk's runway 05 about 35 minutes after departure.

A passenger reported the captain announced that due to non retractable landing gear they would return to Istanbul. The aircraft had just come out of maintenance and probably a minor mistake during overhaul is the reason for the gear remaining down.

A replacement A321-200 registration TC-JRS reached Hamburg with a delay of 2.5 hours.
