Narrative:
During takeoff and climb, pilots noticed vibrations and opted to return to sju to have mechanics look at aircraft. It took us about 20-30 mins after that point before we were allowed to land. Upon landing in ZZZZ, mechanics and maintenance control spent about 5-6 hours working on the aircraft, until maintenance control determined it was safe to take the plane to sju with no passenger.
