I’ll never understand the obsession with Aer Lingus “needing” to diversify and add Asia. Aer Lingus focuses on their strengths and what works well - DUB to North America. Why send an A330 to DOH full of connections onto Qatar when QR already does it and the flight wouldn’t benefit Aer Lingus’ netwo...
