An Air France Boeing 747-400, registration F-GITD performing flight AF-443 from Rio de Janeiro,RJ (Brazil) to Paris Charles de Gaulle (France) with 437 people on board,
was enroute overhead the Atlantic off Recife,PE (Brazil) towards waypoint INTOL about 3 hours into the flight, when the crew decided to return to Rio de Janeiro reporting only 3 of 11 toilets on board were still working.
The airplane landed safely in Rio about 6 hours after departure.

Air France confirmed the return stating the airplane returned to Rio due to a technical incident.
The new flight AF-443A is also delayed due to a technical incident and is now estimated to depart Rio de Janeiro with a delay of more than 31 hours.
