They will no doubt fight tooth and nail but according to a recent ruling, a delay in getting to final destination counts and not what the arrival time is in DXB.
Dare I say it.....Have a look on the BA forum. They have a substantial thread/s on EC261 claims. Will give you some ideas and guidance on how to take this forward through legal channels should EK play hardball.
