It looks like the plane stays overnight, but I suspect that the crew might not be legal to fly back after the overnight of only about nine and a half hours. Most of the FA positions might use local crew (which seems common on South American routes, but this destination is a smaller city), or I guess they could fly a set of crew down to work the return trip. Normal crew scheduling for longhaul international seems to be to give the crew a full day at the location, but that doesn't look like it would work so well with a Wednesday, Saturday, and Sunday schedule. Does anyone know how this will be handled? <I'm just curious.>
