On Mar 2nd 2021 The Aviation Herald received information that the crew, in contact with Athens Radar, reported both engines were operating entirely normal, however, if they continued to Zanzibar the aircraft would be grounded there for many days due to lack of maintenance crews there, hence they were returning to Amsterdam for repairs. A photo had identified the damage to the engine inlet (editorial note: unclear whether a passenger photo).
A replacement Boeing 777-200 registration PH-BQC reached Zanzibar with a delay of about 7 hours.
