With all due respect, I present the following BBC Business reports, confirming my opinion
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-15790112
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-Latin-America-22055361

As to why post this information on this thread ?
Because an airline destination cannot be supported by First and Business PAX alone...it also requires a sizable amount of PAX in economy, to fill the remainder 2/3's of the aircraft...which then makes it economically feasible, For the airline.

Sadly,With my own recent experience as well as the news reports cited, IMHO I would be reticent to revisit Sao Paulo Brazil as a tourist at this time.
