If by vast you mean >80%, I'm not sure. I'd wager that more than 50% of systemwide transoceanic j traffic (seats actually taken) are people traveling on company business in company paid seats; not sure I'd get to vast, however.

Markets like JFK-lhr are going to be dominated (>80%) by business travelers, but even then, only 10 months of the year (December and august being very light business months on this route).

JFK-nce, on the other hand, is much more of a tourist route. Same with JFK-psa.
