It concerned claims by aircraft lessors against their all-risks and war-risks insurers for loss of aircraft and engines following the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February, 2022. The claimant lessors issued default and termination notices but the aircraft and engines were not returned, and therefore, they sought recoveries under their various insurance policies.
