Will be interesting to see how the new DUB standalone route does... MAN not exactly flourishing with theirs.
That's ashame because, properly marketed, there is surely sustainable demand.
Is the DUB portion continuing in its own right? Surely that would be surprising - were loads not consistently better (even though they were low) on the direct EDI-Beijing sectors? I believe the DUB-Shenzhen route loads are extremely poor too.
