Quite surprised by the timings for BA's additional LHR-GRU frequencies (which the website now says will be with a 744). A 12 hour day flight won't be very popular with business passengers, and if it's the leisure market they are after, Rio would have seemed a more logical destination.
Also this still leaves 4 weekly UK-Brazil slots for someone else - but a happy side effect for BA is that this stops VS or BMI providing a daily service, which they would need to compete for business pax.
