Quoting kiwiandrew (Reply 1): Considering that they are about 99% certain to leave *A once the takeover by LAN goes through I can't see why they would start up EWR services.

The real question is when can we expect to see JJ move into JFK-T8 with AA and LA?

If LAN is there then TAM will be there, they may kill the "TAM" name and be "LAN".

I thought the company from this point on was to be called LATAM with the implication that the TAM name was going to stay.

Quoting N62NA (Thread starter): EWR is the Star Alliance "superhub" yet TAM doesn't fly there, yet other Star Alliance airlines (notably LH) serve EWR.
LH flies to both New York JFK and Newark/Liberty out of Germany.
Let's forget for a moment if TAM would leave Star Alliance.
I would like to debate if the [New York-Brazil] market is larger than [New York-Germany], in order to support the hypothetical dual non-stop flights named [Brazil-JFK] and [Brazil-EWR] on TAM.
For illustrative purposes, the former Continental Airlines blocked in the past to Copa Airlines, in order to fly the PTY-EWR sector which was served by CO, in those days. As a result, Copa Airlines was forced to fly to New York JFK.
Both airlines are operating in harmony at this time: CM PTY-JFK 14x weekly plus UA EWR-PTY 7x weekly.
