Default Viva Macau Suspended Operation

Macau intervenes over budget airline

28-03-2010
Macau's aviation authorities have asked Air Macau to suspend its contract with the budget carrier, Viva Macau.

They said Viva Macau could not pay its fuel bills for two flights that left on Friday, and was hurting the image of Macau.

The President of Macau's Civil Aviation Authority, Simon Chan, told reporters that Viva's business licenses were still active, and the firm could conduct commercial activities - but it could not retain its air operator's certificate and could no longer sell airplane tickets.

Viva Macau operated some services between Macau and Sydney/Melbourne so following the close down there could be passengers stranded at the airport. Hope Australian Aviation Authorities can help resolve any issues from that and perhaps to arrange special flight by V Australia or Qantas to ferry those passengers to their destination.
