A regular air route between Macau and the capital of Russia is scheduled to commence from May 10, the Civil Aviation Authority of Macau (AACM) said, making it the longest, direct non-charter route operating out of the MSAR.
According to the AACM’s destination network, the route will shortly become the 49th operating out of the Macau International Airport. It will be flown once a week starting from May.
The AACM representative added that, at present, there are no plans for other links to Europe.
JSC Royal Flight Airlines, a charter airline based out of Abakan in southern Russia since 1993, will operate the route.
The airline first commenced flights between Macau and the Russian capital in May 2016, offering a twice-weekly charter service. This service was gradually expanded as the route matured.
Macau was the company’s first destination in the greater China region. It currently operates charter services between Russian cities, and holiday destinations such as Egypt, Turkey, India, the United Arab Emirates, Thailand and Indonesia.
AACM confirmed to the Times yesterday that it has approved two new air routes linking Macau to the beach resort destinations of Boracay in the Philippines and Cam Ranh in Vietnam. The Boracay route is operated by Royal Air Charter Service with 14 weekly flights and the Cam Ranh route is operated by Small Planet Airlines with two weekly flights. Both airlines commenced flights on their respective routes in the past five weeks.
The Boracay route is operated by Royal Air Charter Service with 14 weekly flights and the Cam Ranh route is operated by Small Planet Airlines with two weekly flights. Both airlines commenced flights on their respective routes in the past five weeks.
After a quick look online there appears to be no information about these flights on either company website – no information about how to book and flight times. If they commenced on these routes in the past 5 weeks then why is their no information about the flights anywhere?
