I don't think it matters to BR much as the connecting traffic via EWR (or even JFK) is probably minimal due to the flight time.
So, that's it. That is a lot of traffic to capture - last I heard (and that was years ago) was that 1/3 of the BR TPAC traffic is not out of TPE. I am sure that has increased. Assuming the same with CI, then they can capture a lot. I am guessing CI is picking up enough premium traffic KIX-JFK to make up for the loss.
Still, there is a huge Asian community in Northern NJ and PA. I suppose BR will be running shuttle buses from NJ like CI does.
It would cost too much to route others (like PHL) via YYZ, right?
