Macau has introduced updated regulations for civil aviation operators, setting new financial obligations and operational requirements, the Official Gazette announced.
Under the revised rules, the security deposit for civil aviation companies is set at MOP15 million, as stipulated in Article 44 of the Civil Aviation Activities Law.
Companies applying for or renewing a commercial passenger transport license must pay a fee of MOP1 million within 30 days of notification. Annual activity fees are calculated at 2% of the previous year’s net profits.
The minimum share capital required for operators is MOP600 million for commercial passenger airlines, and MOP200 million for commercial helicopter passenger or executive aviation services. For cargo airlines using freighter aircraft, the minimum capital is MOP400 million.
All new regulations are scheduled to take effect on February 1, 2026, in bid to ensure clearer financial and operational standards for aviation operators in Macau. LV
