Jetstar to implement one-month suspension of Macau-Da Nang route

Jetstar Pacific Airlines is suspending flights between Macau and Da Nang between February 22 and March 26, according to customers of the low-cost carrier.
The airline reportedly told customers that it is canceling all scheduled flights because of “operational reasons,” but would ensure that affected passengers are repaid in full.
The Civil Aviation Authority of Macau told Radio Macau that they have not received any official notification from the carrier, and the information that they did receive made no mention of the period of suspension or the reasons behind it.
Under the current rules, airlines are not required to justify the suspension of operations.
In 2014, Jetstar suspended flights between Macau and the Vietnamese capital, Hanoi, less than three months after the company launched the daily trips. The route was suspended following safety concerns due to escalating violence against Chinese nationals in Vietnam in relation to territorial issues in the South China Sea.
Later that year, a representative of the Macau International Airport Company Ltd (CAM) told the Times that the route would “be re-launching soon.” The carrier continued to list the Hanoi route on its webpage but search results indicated no available flights. The route has since been removed.
According to the company’s website, the remaining direct flights between Macau and Vietnam are to the cities of Hai Phong and Ho Chi Minh. However, search results revealed no availability at any time, indicating that the carrier may no longer be operating these routes either. Staff reporter
