So much for the earlier suggestions by some that the route was on its last legs because TP were often placing a Portugalia F100 on the route.
Great news. However, what I find most tantalising is the comment:
We......intend to add further frequencies next summer to reflect the increased demand we are experiencing not only to Portugal but beyond to Brazil and Africa."
Is it a preference for Star Alliance with MAN passengers that make this route such a success compared to OneWorld and their inability to make MAN-MAD-The Americas work?
