Of course, I won't argue with that. EWR is a lucrative route if it is about revenues. As I said, the fares to EWR is way more expensive than JFK as there are less competitors. That's why I can't find a cheap flight to EWR and always ended up booking to JFK instead.
It's like adding the more lucrative HND route to Tokyo when it is already being served by NRT.
And what is better revenue options for the airline comes first for CX than giving us CX customers more strategic additional airport choices when flying to the US.
That's how business work.
