US west coast <-> East Asia, and US east coast <-> Western Europe (especially London/Paris) already covers a sizeable fraction of business travel, doesn't it?

Those are basically the four major global economic centers. And among those four, the only link that this service can't provide is Europe <-> East Asia.

Really? Most of those routes are either trans-arctic or trans-Siberian.

Not necessarily.

For example, Southwest Airlines got its start by moving businesspeople around Texas. It only started leaning on tourists later.
