Sounds plausible. Could it be one of those paperwork problems discovered enroute? Maybe the A358 is a new type and not yet listed in some document authorizing the operations at LFPG. Did they book this as a test flight TLS-KHI-TLS and weren't able to get the change of destination signed off in time?
