It should be noted that the increased CS is on the ATL BSB flight which is flown by, wait. Delta and Delta pilots. Its currently a 757 and is generally full. Might see an upgauge or more frequency if the added passengers from GOL ups the demand. We appear to be boarder-line on the demand curve right now.
Last time I was there, they agents were saying that cargo wise they could fill at a min a 767 daily, and AMR was responding with JFK service.
FWIW, when the city was relatively new in the early 80s you'd have to fly to GRU and make your way up on another long flight. Or drive 10-12 hours. Driving isn't really all that safe in Brasil. i'm sure there is a lot of love for those flights especially from either government.
I used to live off the right wing across the river. They built the capital in the shape of an airplane.

Considerations:
Considerations:
- 600 to 800 ft strip, who knows when it has been mowed or what's in there
- Record setting rains and flooding
- Mountains on three sides (which is why hang gliders jump from there)
- Gliders all over the place not expecting some lunatic in a Bonanza on final
- Engine has 0.3 hours since Top Overhaul ... meaning everything's been messed with but not really overhauled....

IMHO they should go back to 12 Meter Class boats sponsored by syndicates with no advertising allowed on the boats. If they want speed, spectacles and thrills, switch to ice boating. Lets go back to the days of grace, elegance, and sportsmanship in sailing.

I got stuck (literally!) in a glider strip one day in my Cub!
I was trying to out run a thunderstorm to my home field but I lost, so I had to 'proceed to my alternate' which was a little glider strip about 20 miles west. It hadn't been mowed in months, soggy ground too.
I landed just in time to tie it down and run into a shed to wait for the storm to blow over. It rained pretty hard but not long so when it was done I propped the Cub and tried to take off!
With the 18" tall wet grass, the mud and the puddles, I couldn't even get it going over about 20, and there was lots of mud spraying up off the tires onto the wings. I returned to the tie down, pulled out my cell phone and called the wife to come get me! I still hear about that one!
I returned to get the plane a few (dry) days later and still, it was a very long ground roll with all that tall grass. My biggest fear was hitting something like a cow lying down in there, so I back taxied to be sure there were no surprises.

There has been quite a bit of debate about that on the sailing web boards. Seems watching the 12 meters race was like watching paint dry. And nobody watched live, let alone on TV.
The reason they went to multi hulls was to increase the Speed and the Drama, to try to get more people to watch it on TV.
Many years ago I said what they need to do is run it like a NASCAR race, with lots of bumping and grinding and crashes. Well, they tried that too! Here they are learning how to race cats, on the scaled down 45 foot rigs:

The money thing was always an issue, that's why the sails are now covered with sponsor logos. And they also relaxed the rule that had said all the sailors on board must be from the "Country of Origin", so now you have Kiwi's driving and crewing the American boats, Britts driving Swiss boats, Aussies are all over every boat, no matter the country. It used to be a battle for national pride, now it's just a bunch of Billionaires blowing money for bragging rights. Heck, Team New Zealand is owned by Emirates!
Do you remember when Ted Turner won the America's Cup? The New York Yacht Club was some kind of Pizzed Off! They didn't like him at all, they called him, "The Mouth of the South."

The NYYC invited him alone to the Awards Banquet, not his whole crew. He said, "If my boys don't go, I'm not going!" And they didn't, Ted took his crew out drinking and blew off the banquet!
