Incident: Gulf A320 at Bahrain on Jan 24th 2018, slat problem on departure

A Gulf Air Airbus A320-200, registration A9C-AM performing flight GF-19 from Bahrain (Bahrain) to Paris Charles de Gaulle (France), was in the initial climb out of Bahrain's runway 12L when the crew stopped the climb at 5000 feet due to the slats not retracting. The aircraft returned to Bahrain for a safe landing on runway 12L about 35 minutes after departure.

A replacement A320-200 registration A9C-AN reached Paris with a delay of 2 hours.
