It is most certainly going to be used in the coming months, Olympus have only just acquired a new aircraft.
I had heard that it was due to move at the end of the month but the condition of the aircraft is terrible.

It does beg the question, which was mentioned a few months ago within this thread, was the aircraft flying whilst in a unsafe condition? It had already sustained damage before arriving at NCL, allegedly, and the damage it has sustained was unlikely to be caused in mid-air... and TUI were using them last summer and possibly this summer. It doesn’t sound too good and I wouldn’t want to fly with these chancers.
