Airlineroute reports TP is cancelling VCP (Campinas, Viracopos Sao Paulo) for the winter season. Currently 3weekly.
Increase somewhere else to be expected? TLV?
Budapest airport reports TP is increasing frequency from 7 to 8 weekly.
The interesting part is I cannot find this anywhere else, and even the page of BUD is not clear on the 8th frequency (7 only shown)
Check this link from my previous post about IB TLV operation. Gives you the IB sample view. According to it should be: EZE,MEX,BOG,LIM.
Thanks. I'll give it a read.

CPH seems a reaction to Easyjet opening LIS-CPH
MAN seems to confirm the points raised
BRU seems in pain with 1 daily frequency cut.

Does TAP have enough aircraft for these increased frequencies?

I was wondering the same (actually if they had crews) when I saw the announcement.
HEL and OTP are night flights, so no extra planes needed.
TLS is operated by Portugalia.
The rest should either be stretching the utilization or some other routes were "adjusted".
I guess this summer we will see a lot of no onboard service due to minimum crews.
