| Quoting SJOtoLIR (Reply 49): Air Europa still flies the MAD-SSA sector thrice a week with 332. In my understanding, this route is sustained purely on the O&D market, where the dimension of the market doesn't allow more weekly flights for the time being. |
| Quoting SCL767 (Reply 55): Starting on 21SEP13, LAN Perú will increase frequency on the LIM-GRU route to 14x weekly. |
| Quoting tonytifao (Reply 57): Do we have any news when AA MIA-POA will be bookable? |
| Quoting LipeGIG (Reply 59): Quoting tonytifao (Reply 57): Do we have any news when AA MIA-POA will be bookable? The flights got the final OK from ANAC today but i suspect AA wants to disclose also GRU-LAX and the new redeye GRU-JFK (that replaces the daylight) all together |
| Quoting b377 (Reply 62): According to the press release about the AA/JJ Code-Share Agreement |
| Quoting LipeGIG (Reply 64): TAM will run extra GRU-MIA-GRU flights in Jan/2014. Not as much as this past January. |
| Quoting LAXintl (Reply 69): Two stories out in the last week. Large loss by LATAM. Significantly worse than analyst were expected. I know the company blamed much of it on weakening of the Brazilian Real, but there are other forces at play including slowing passenger demand and oversupply in capacity, especially in TAM's home market. Also I saw Azul scraped plans for its IPO, citing adverse market conditions. I saw an interview with David Neeleman who said in a matter of months (since May) the entire picture for an IPO changed. For now he says the airline will sit things out and see how things develop. Is the macroeconomic picture in counties like Brazil going to pop airline industry balloon in South America ? |
| Quoting incitatus (Reply 66): Also TAM is sticking the 773s in all GRU-MCO flights over the month of January 2014. |
| Quoting Reffado (Reply 67): I know this has been discussed thoroughly, but I'm sure I'm not the only one who wants to know. Considering the new ex-LA birds that are joining JJ's widebody fleet, have any statements regarding the retirement of the three ex-AZ birds? |

| Quoting LAXintl (Reply 74): Sad to see the Brazil meltdown. As others mentioned suppose its only time that international services to Brazil will start feeling the pain, especially ones from the US due to their dependence of Brazil origin traffic and the fact that supply in market seats has kept growing. |
| Quoting tonytifao (Reply 75): LAXintl, not sure if you ever go down there, but things are getting worse and worse in my opinion. Corruption is still out of control, crime is higher, even the types of crime is worse, they no longer just rob you, they kill you. Everything is outrageously expensive, the infrastructure is horrible. |
| Quoting rg787 (Reply 76): While brazilian economy is certainly worth looking at and worrying, this is an aviation forum and I thing it is not the right place to discuss this matter. Let's take care of this thread before it is locked by moderators. |
| Quoting jmbarros12 (Reply 78): TAM only flies to four destinations in Sao Paulo state. |
| Quoting Reffado (Reply 79): Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this because the smaller airports in the area can't handle A32X class planes? |
