Why? I doubt the inbound Chinese tourist really cares (if they've committed to what might be a double drop) whether its OSL or DUB.
If it is prestige Chinese business EDI are after, this is the wrong airline/product, wrong frequency and needs (always) to be direct.
Cathay Pacific 4-5 times per week, A35G, direct to HKG would have a far better chance. Much nicer product, well known, redivert some LHR OW connections. Would be surprised to see this happen though in current climate. If there were indeed generous incentives for HA could there be for others?
