Brazil is a booming economy with thousands os people travelling around the world. It was already difficult to find award tickets having Lufhtansa, Swiss, Tam, Tap, Singapore (Barcelona), Tam itself, Turkish and Air China (Madrid) when ones want to go to Europe. How about just having Iberia and British Airways? Not to mention that LH offered Frankfurt and Munich daily from Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, and TAP flies to 6 or 7 cities throughout Brazil.
The main problem was always the transatlantic seats offered. And now the availability will be way less than before.
The only good part will be for flying to USA with American Airline, which flies to/from a lot of brazilian cities without the need of conexion.
Oh.. and we also lost Air Canada.... :/
