Oh I believe they’ll get the aircraft if they need them. It hasn’t stopped them in the past.

Then there’s always the possibility that they might inherit them from one of the ME3 when one of them begins to flounder. There’s not enough transit traffic over there in the Western Persian Gulf for all three of those carriers to prosper. One of them will likely begin to flounder over the next few years.
