What is your source for the aircraft ownership? I was trying to find out about that yesterday. :-)
I'm not a lawyer, so on very thin ice here commenting on aircraft repossessions in Greece / Canada.
No doubt people want money - but on the other hand, if we assume that the aircraft owner is a creditor as well, why should passengers have a claim against the aircraft?
To me it sounds somewhat similar to saying that the aircraft owner (lessor) could try and claim cash from other creditors. e.g. passengers. On that basis, should the passengers be held hostage at the airport until overdue payments to the aircraft owner are made?
