[rules] Airbending and cast triggers (szmer.info)

If I cast a permanent again for 2 after airbending it, will its cast triggers be triggered again. Can I, for example, use [[Appa, Loyal Sky Bison]] to airbend [[Emrakul, the Promised End]], and take control of another player for the 2 recast cost? Or will even Emrakul's cast cost reduction apply, allowing me to do this for even less?

Interestingly, various review sites which cover the airbend mechanic only mention leaves- and enters-the-battlefield triggers. But the rules explicitly state "cast it" in 701.65a.

Its a blink style, so it makes sense that its the first thing people think of, but its great for casts triggers and two sided cards (such as valki, god of lies).
