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.
However it may be that when CX start EWR the fare to HKG may be reasonable, to compete with CO as they will be in strong competition!

I wonder what this new service will do to CO/UA's daily EWR-HKG. I guess there will be enough Star Alliance flyers to ensure that flight stays full too.
