In this case, EK are directed to take the a/c out of service for non-scheduled maintenance so they have an issue with THEIR supplier ie Airbus.
I expect EK will be pressing Airbus for compensation for loss of revenue so why should we not receive compensation from EK for their failure to supply what we purchased?
Anyway, I've been down this route before and failed miserably so good luck ung even if you knew you would probably be rehoused.
