Unfortunately PT-MVP does not visit JFK but hopefully we will see some more aircraft painted in this livery before the South African World Cup.

On a separate note, TAM will be reducing their daylight GRU-JFK flight to five times weekly and then to four times weekly because of a decrease in advanced bookings. Their upcoming schedule for JJ8082/8083 is as follows:

From Aug 08 to Sep 1

JJ 8082/8083 operates 5x weekly (except Tu/Th)

From Sep 15 to Oct 1

* Here i believe TAM will operate one or two of the flights on the week of the general assembly of UN.

From Oct 13 to Oct 22

JJ 8082/8083 operates 4x weekly (except Tu/We/Th)

From Nov 3 to Dec 3
