A Swiss Airbus A320-200, registration HB-IJH performing flight LX-339 from London Heathrow,EN (UK) to Zurich (Switzerland) with 156 passengers and 6 crew, was in the initial climb out of London Heathrow's runway 09R when the crew reported the failure of one of the hydraulic systems, stopped the climb at 6,000 feet and entered a holding pattern to troubleshoot the problem.
The airplane subsequently returned to London Heathrow for a safe landing on runway 09L about 40 minutes after departure and stopped on the runway due to lack of nose wheel steering. The airplane needed to be towed to the apron. The passengers were taken to hotels and were re-booked onto other flights the following day.
