A United Boeing 787-9, registration N27958 performing flight UA-2860 from Rome Fiumicino (Italy) to Newark,NJ (USA), was climbing out of Rome's runway 25 when the crew stopped the climb at FL150 and slowed the aircraft to 300 knots over ground. The aircraft entered a hold, then returned to Fiumicino Airport for a safe landing on runway 16R at a higher than normal speed (191 knots over ground) about one hour after departure.

The aircraft had suffered three occurrences in Tokyo (Japan) last week.
