Further STP Airways offers a proper Business Class on their flight from LIS-TMS, even on the B757-200 or B737-800 they used to operate on that route.
TP doesn't send the A332s to TMS because the runway conditions can't handle its weight and the taxiways aren't wide enough for its wingspan.

Air Luxor used to fly its A320 CS-TMW (which was equipped with extra fuel tanks precisely for that reason) to TMS.
