Air Asia X turns back and circles for 4 hours to burn fuel...

Before landing at its original departure point due to an "auto-thrust" failure.


For Airbus A330-300 pilots is this a normal thing to do?

Would you on a scheduled 10 hour flight, turn around after 45 minutes, circle for 4 hours to burn fuel and then land just for an auto-thrust failure?
