Listening to the tapes at liveatc.net it doesn't sound like there was any problem. Since AA9666 appears to be a ferry flight for a B-763 aircraft out of storage in Roswell, New Mexico, I'm guessing that they didn't have 180 minute ETOPS and had to go north for suitable enroute alternates.

The flight plan for N380AN as filed according to FlightAware:

KROW 4828N/09542W KELMU SCAH TEFFO AVPUT KEMOS 6700N/04000W INDES 6400N/02000W MATIK UL612 STN NIPIT RIKUL W13 SHA EINN

Aircraft is reportedly destined for CargoJet AW (Canada), so presumably en route to a conversion centre somewhere.
