I would say the costs of a J ticket to Asia is below that (for AY) since AY offers frequently cooporate fares below that - also most other european airlines (even Lufthansa) are able to do offers in that region. Money comes in when people pay >2000€ fares.

Also AY has no problem with upgrading lots of pax into business class on certain routes, so they even see this as a profitable solution.
