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:
