BA schedules to Brazil increase

A British Airways press release from this week stipulates that LHR-GRU-LHR will go to 10x times per week from 3rd December. There is a new daytime flight LHR-GRU on Tue/Thur/Sun's from December with a night return.
It doesnt say what aircraft will be used on the additional frequencies (or the flight number). This will be in addition to the daily BA246/247 returns flying LHR-GRU then which continues GRU-GIG/GRU-EZE alternate days.

Boosted BA Brazil, JFK and a new Calgary services will be worked by aircraft coming from a reduced MIA & IAD service plus conversions of at least 2x existing B763 to long haul configuration.

This then utilises the bilateral slots which are currently available.
