Bahrain-based MAE has filed a counterclaim worth $169 million in an ongoing dispute related to a freight rostrum cargo airline brand.
The legal action forms part of a broader disagreement concerning contractual and in subject to legal proceedings, the counterclaim significantly raises the financial stakes in the case.
Disputes involving cargo aircraft can involve complex arrangements, including leasing structures, maintenance obligations, and commercial performance agreements. Such cases often require detailed review of contractual terms and operational compliance.

Further updates are expected as the case progresses through the relevant legal channels.
