Taiwanese low cost V-Air cancels Macau operations

Taiwanese low-cost airline V-Air has announced it will drop all flights between Macau and Taipei in the next month.
The company currently operates three weekly flights between Macau and Taipei, which it says have been canceled because the Macau Civil Aviation Authority refused to increase more flights, although the local aviation authority denies that claim.
The decision was justified by the fact that the three V-Air flights allegedly impede the company’s flight planning and arrangements, making it less competitive than its counterparts.
The Civil Aviation Authority claims that it has granted them a permit to operate daily flights after V-Air submitted an application for additional flights earlier.
The Taiwanese airline’s official website shows that currently only six flights in July are still available in the ticketing section. The airline official also added that their clients, who have been notified of the flights to be axed, would receive a total refund of their tickets starting this week.
The company’s Taipei to Macau flight was first launched on April 10 and the airline expected to operate daily flights from Macau at the beginning of June.
