The occurrence aircraft remained on the ground in Athens for about 54 hours, then positioned to Amsterdam and returned to service another 10 hours after landing there.
On Jul 11th 2023 the Dutch Onderzoeksraad (DSB) reported in a brief interim report, they are investigating the occurrence. The DSB wrote:
The incident occurred on June 8, 2022 within the local air traffic control area of Heraklion International Airport Nikos Kazantzakis on the island of Crete, Greece. The aircraft had just taken off for the return flight to Amsterdam Airport Schiphol. The process update is given because the investigation takes longer than a year.
Immediately after leaving the runway, abnormal steering corrections were necessary to keep the aircraft level (wings level). It was unclear what caused the control problems. The flight crew decided to divert to Athens, Greece. The approach and landing were without any significant problems. An initial inspection revealed that an aileron cable had broken.
The study is currently in the analysis phase . The final report will be published in due course.
