A Lufthansa Airbus A340-300, registration D-AIGZ performing flight LH-542 from Frankfurt/Main (Germany) to Bogota (Colombia), was enroute at FL310 about 60nm west of Brest (France) when the crew decided to return to Frankfurt due to an oil smell on board. The aircraft descended to FL300 for the return and landed safely on Frankfurt's runway 25C about 105 minutes after turning around.

The Aviation Herald received information that the #3 engine (CFM56) was identified as source of the odour.

The airline confirmed the aircraft returned to Frankfurt to an odour on board. A replacement aircraft is going to depart as soon as possible.

A replacement Airbus A340-300 registration D-AIFC departed Frankfurt with a delay of 7 hours.
