I was just having a look at this airport, the new terminal was opened in late 2009/early 2010 and at the time both runways were in full operation. I think this would be the optimum time for the airport to be added, PLUNA was around, though only operating their CRJ900s but the devs could be a little squiggly with the timeline and allow the 763/752/732/733’s to be available as they were retired within 2008 so a year before.

It’d also allow for some of the older South American airlines to show up as contracts such as VARIG and VASP (Again with a little timeline squigglyness) from GRU.

Again with a little extra squigglyness on the timeline, you could have Alas from 2013 and Amaszonas from 2015 just to make it a little more diverse.
