The story from the coffee shop says that Eagle Aviation weren’t the owners of the B777, they are an ACMI operator who flew for Saudia, they are in court with Saudia who have contested their charges. They since filed for bankruptcy, and the administrator took it upon himself to have assets seized, hence the 777. It was released when the matter went to court!
Strange thing about this is that the Eagle Aviation crews talked about the company continuing to fly for Saudia under a different name......
