Here's the FlightRadar24 plot:

Looks like AC17 was airborne at 1752Z and landed at 1857Z.

The fun begins shortly after AC17 is cleared for takeoff at about 21:55 into this clip of tower audio:

AC17 was cleared for takeoff on 06R. The tower told them that they had 'three flameouts [sic] on the right engine' (I realize that the controller might not be very fluent in English). AC17 called Pan-Pan-Pan and asked for vectors to stay close to the airport.

They then said they were going straight out with a turn at 11 DME IUL, maybe one of those special engine-out procedures that the company teaches but ATC knows nothing about. They later took a heading of 270 and a climb to 5000 feet. Requested vectors to dump area, SOB's 224 with crew of 13, fuel 78.7 with plans to dump to 40 (I assume tonnes, AC wrote the book on fuel quantity unit conversions in ETOPS twins ). Looks like they dumped at 7000 feet and came back to land on 06L.

Another day at the office.
