The aircraft remained on the ground in London until Sep 22nd, then positioned to Belgrade and resumed service on Sep 23rd 2024.
A passenger reported the aircraft returned to the gate while taxiing for the first attempt to depart, subsequently did a second attempt to depart but needed to reject takeoff, both times due to an engine failure.
