Sorry, Toshbaf, but you're wrong. That said, when at first you don't succeed, please, guess again!

I am beginning to think I am wrong. Abidjan opened up to South African Airways later but not as a JFK flight. I think Brazil is the answer so JNB-GIG-JFK. At that time, Sao Paulo used Campinas for long distance flights and Congonhas for short flights so Rio was the big international airport.

YES! Good rebound, Toshbaf!

By the way, if we haven't already said so, Welcome to the OTAQ&D! ^
