Emirates Says Flight Was Delayed After Delta Withheld $300 Spare Part

Gulf carrier says U.S. rival located part but wouldn't sell it
Emirates, the world's biggest long-haul airline, said a flight from Seattle to Dubai was delayed for more than six hours after it was unable to obtain a $300 spare part from Delta Air Lines Inc., which has led a campaign against the expansion of Mideast carriers in the U.S.

A Boeing Co. 777 due to depart the American city at 9 a.m. on Feb. 2 was held up by a mechanical issue requiring the replacement of a minor hydraulic component, Emirates says. While the part was sourced from Delta's local engineering office and installed on the plane, a senior manager at the U.S. carrier's Atlanta base later ordered that it be removed, it claims.
