EK 228 SEA-DXB EWA/B777 - delayed due to a running hydraulic leak from a tail fin area. Contracted Engineer did a good job accessing the area, determining the leak and organizing the spare part from Delta Airlines. Once installed and serviceable at 2030z (03:30 delayed), it turned out that Delta suddenly realized that this part was meant for EK and revoked the spare part due to missing agreements. As such and despite long debates we had to return the part.
Luckily an alternative was located with Alaskan Airlines. Spare could be installed and departed with a 06:30 delay.
