Emirates second leg delay
Options

Hello, I am looking for advice due to conflicting articles i have seen.
I had a flight with Emirates to Phuket from LGW connecting in Dubai. LGW - DXB arrived on time and the DXB -HKT departed on time however we were then diverted to Mumbai due to an engine issue and ended up arriving in Phuket 12 hours late. Some arcticles seem to imply it is the final destination arrival time that matters others suggest that the second leg departing outside EU and operated by non EU airline means the delay doesn't come under the EU ruling.
Can someone clarify the situation please
Thanks
Derek

Hi Derek,
Please re-post this on the dedicated non-EU airlines thread. It had been pushed down the listings onto the 2nd page but I've just bumped it back to the top.- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
