Aer Lingus 'Dublin Money Machine' Is Breaking

For nearly a decade, Aer Lingus was the crown jewel of a European aviation empire. A perfectly placed hub, a rare border-clearance advantage, and a transatlantic model that quietly printed money. Then it posted a €282 million operating profit, opened new American routes, and started cutting itself apart. Bases closed. Routes vanished. Jobs disappeared, and warnings went out about the winters still to come. To the public it looked like an airline in freefall. Inside the group that owns it, nobody flinched, because they were all watching a single number the outside world never sees. This is the story of how a profitable airline became the problem child, and why the harshest decision in European aviation right now may be the only one its owner allows.
