The decision was made to make a precautionary return to Paris Orly rather than continue with the overwater crossing to Guadeloupe. The aircraft is equipped with duplicated hydraulic systems, but a return to ORY was deemed prudent in the circumstances.
The flight data shows that flight SS926 made a delayed departure out of Paris ORY. Actual time of departure was listed as 1247 local time, against the scheduled departure time of 1215 local.
