NRT-MEL could be a contender for APAC even if QF beat them last year. Why? Let's just say my company is working with 3 JP Auto Firms for their Supply Chain and Logistics needs in th MEL suburbs and we are about to finish these massive warehouses for them with a total floor space of over 200K sq.m. considered the biggest in the Southern Hemisphere. That's business class money for JP execs and employees flying back and forth.
PER, MIA, AMS could be good candidates as well. KIX-LHR possible if JL recently was able to grab the 2 slot pairs of rumored sold for 75M USD but then I don't think JL is willing to pay this much money.
