Being IAD-based, I was thrilled (and a bit surprised) when they announced IAD-BER but I have to agree. The only other major driver for demand on that route could be government, but even then I wouldn't see it as significant (not to mention that the GSA city pair contract for IAD-BER is currently with Delta through the end of FY22, so most of those folks would've been flying KLM or AF even with the new route).
