If it was a MAN-DXB (EU->Non EU) would the rules apply? Looking at the FAQ, it should: http://ec.europa.eu/ireland/contact_...l/index_en.htm

"The Regulation (Article 3.1) applies to all passengers departing from an airport in a Member State and to all passengers departing from an airport in a country outside the EU to an airport in the EU where the operating air carrier is a Community air carrier. "

I parse that as all airlines departing from an EU airport, or any EU airline arriving into an EU airport from a non-EU airport. Is that correct?
