There has never been a NY base on the Airbus. When nonstop NY flights were started in 2004 on the A340-600 the company was reluctant to set up a base there because of radiation concerns with polar flights. Toronto at the time was via Anchorage on the A340-300. With Toronto now also being nonstop on the -300ER that concern may not be as it was in 2004 but it is still there and will be a major consideration in any future decisions as to whether NY becomes a pax base.
