VCP is in the Sao Paulo metro area; distance-wise, it is comparable to the distance between SJC and SFO; LAX and ONT; NRT and HND among others.

The market is there - the question is whether AA will be able to convince enough people to use a secondary airport.

TAP already flies to VCP from Lisbon, and Copa starts from Panama in December.
