An Air India Boeing 787-800, registration VT-ANR performing flight AI-309 from Melbourne,VI (Australia) to Delhi (India), was climbing out of Melbourne's runway 16 when shortly before climbing through FL150 the crew requested to level off at FL150 reporting a flight control technical issue but did not request priority. The crew subsequently decided to return to Melbourne, dumped fuel at 6000 feet and landed safely back on Melbourne's runway 16 about 70 minutes after departure.
The airport reported the crew did not declare emergency advising of a minor technical problem and requesting to return to Melbourne.
