The last JFK-GIG seems to be 3/5 after only operating during the winter months. Maybe DL is already converting this flight from year round to seasonal before it even starts? Even in the winter it isn't daily. It seems to only be 5x per week most weeks. Maybe GOL isn't providing enough Brazilian passengers or able to connect DL passengers to secondary cities?
There's better service to GRU, from ATL and JFK plus some days from DTW, so that would be the preferred connection to smaller airports in Brazil.
