More Miami / MIA- Sao Paulo GRU flights
American Airlines will begin a fourth daily flight between Miami and Sao Paulo effective 13 December 2006. The current daily daylight flight number will move to a new redeye schedule, as already known, but the daylight flight will remain with a different flight number. AA's Miami-Sao Paulo schedule will be:
AA 2943 MIA 1205-2325 GRU 763 xMoWe
AA 907 MIA 2000-0715+1 GRU 763
AA 929 MIA 2200-0915+1 GRU 763
AA 995 MIA 2320-1025+1 GRU 772
-------------
AA 998 GRU 0045-0600 MIA 763
AA 930 GRU 0130-0645 MIA 763
AA 2944 GRU 1245-1830 MIA 763 xMoWe
AA 906 GRU 2325-0430+1 MIA 772
AA will offer a total of 26 non-stop flights a week between Miami and Sao Paulo and 14 between Miami and Rio de Janeiro, in addition to daily service from Dallas and New York City to Sao Paulo, and a daily Sao Paulo-Rio de Janeiro feeder flight.
Also, the new MIA-GIG schedules:
AA 2919 MIA 2035-0805+1 GIG 763
AA 905 MIA 1115-1040+1 GIG 763
----------------
AA 904 GIG 2300-0425+1 MIA 763
AA 2980 GIG 2355-0520+1 MIA 763
Combined with TAM's increased MIA winter schedule - 28 weekly non-stops to Salvador, Manaus, Sao Paulo, and new flights to Rio de Janeiro - AA/JJ will have ten daily flights to Brazil.
No word on when AA/JJ will expand their codeshare to include MIA-MAO, MIA-SSA, MIA-GIG, and the MIA-GRU daylight, but it would be nice.

Thanks for posting the new schedule!
I also have never understood why AA didn't codeshare on TAM's MIA-Northeast flights. The current bilateral allows codesharing on both MIA-SSA and MIA-MAO so it must be the decision of one of the two airlines not to do so. Perhaps AA would lose some passengers to GRU, but most of the GRU-bound pax tend to stay in GRU or if they connect, they go to CNF or a city in the South.

Are these extra sections' flight numbers a bit unusual? All the other wide-body LatAm flights are 9XX, right?

Edited to add:
MIA-SJO 2141, for example.

Anyone know why the daytime MIA-GRU-MIA flights (929/930) are not on the schedule for the next couple of weeks?

What about CNF?
I'm still waiting for the reinstatement of the CNF service. It would be nice for one of these GRU flights continue on to Belo Horizonte like in the past. Or even better a direct flight MIA-CNF using a narrowbody (752+winglet)? Possible?

They could also try GRU-POA again, although I think the problem with that flight was due to the common weather (fog) delays.
I'm going to miss the daytime flights. They were never more than half-full when I took them and always had C7 on EF...

Thanks for the information about the daytime flights. I will miss them. I have taken that flight twice in the last year; both times the plane was 100% full.

The AA signs at the counters are long gone (now occupied by TAM at the right hand side). The cargo area doesn't have the signs up anymore.
If you visit CNF today you'll see a whole different airport. It's so much busier than before. The access roads when finished will give this city a much needed boost. Gol Airlines has recently innaugurated its maintenance hub there. Geographically speaking, CNF is really well positioned to feed flights to other regions of Brazil and has the infrastructure to support it. I believe that AA could potentially benefit from good cargo loads + pax at this airport. It made sense in the past, so why not take a second look?
