A/C is in TLS and a.f.a.i.k. the entire tail section (from the rear production join) is being replaced, including the rear pressure bulkhead.

I heard (from a reliable source in eng.) the plane was fully fueled with approx. 204 tons of fuel before the transit to DXB. Dunno how much it burned en-route. Dunno how much fuel it had when transiting from DXB to TLS

This will cost EK a few Dirhams...!
