[QUOTE=irishguy28;32260040]Can you explain what you mean?

Each flight that Aer Lingus is operating to PEK is charging the Irish Government €300k
You hardly thought they were doing it for nothing?

Given each flight is supposedly carrying about €28mn in supplies, that sounds like a great deal, even if 20% of what's brought back is unusable!
Plenty of airlines carry expensive goods.
EI are not responsible for the condition of the cargo.
I don't see the need for that post to be honest unless you an axe to grind about the supplies as this is the 2nd time you have mentioned it.
