You say nightmare, but they would receive adequate customer service and at least with emirates there is a possibility that a connection would be available "relatively" soon compared to other airlines, I'd imagine.

Granted, if demand was through the roof, it would be a different story.

These are the realities of life. sometimes delays are inevitable due to incidents like this. I am sure EK will arrange connections for the pax transiting for onward flights.

Reverser of the engine was damaged and as per my information the aircraft departed as ferry. Not sure about it now.
