According to the Civil Aviation Authority of Macau (AACM), the number of air passenger destinations to and from Macau has been restored to 29, including 21 cities in Mainland China, one in Taiwan, one in Hong Kong and six other Asian cities.
Since January, Air Macau has resumed flights to Macau from Bangkok and Seoul once per week and from Wuhan three times per week, while Shenzhen Airlines has resumed flights between Macau and Wuxi daily.
From February, Air Asia will resume flights between Macau and Kuala Lumpur three times per week and Thai Air Asia between Macau and Bangkok twice per week.
Juneyao Airlines will operate a daily service between Shanghai Pudong and Macau during the Chinese New Year period from 18 January to 5 February, and Asia Pacific Airlines will operate eight daily helicopter services between Macau and Hong Kong from 16 to 20 January.
In addition, the AACM has approved applications for China Eastern Airlines to increase the capacity of its Shanghai Pudong and Macau routes to 21 flights per week from 20 January, and for Air Macau – which reduced the number of flights to Beijing, Chongqing, Nantong, Qingdao, Taiyuan, Tianjin, Wenzhou, Yiwu and Zhengzhou in December last year – to restore capacity to its previous 21 flights per week starting from January 22.
“After the end of the transition period of Macau’s pandemic prevention, Macau’s aviation industry is actively resuming its flight services to and from Macau,” the AACM said.
“AACM will take into account the recovery of the aviation industry and the demand for capacity during the Chinese New Year, and has approved the applications of Air Macau and many other companies for resuming passenger services and increasing frequencies.”
