Partners
The
de-facto national carrier of Macau,Air Macau , has concluded a licensing agreement to let Viva Macau fly (since Air Macau owns the air-traffic rights to destinations that Viva Macau intends to fly to). In addition, Viva Macau is negotiating further co-operation with Air Macau in the form of joint marketing or code-sharing. The two airlines are not expected to compete with each other while Air Macau continues to concentrate on short-haul full-service routes, especially domestic flights toChina andTaiwan .Destinations
In its short history Viva Macau has chopped and changed its destinations depending on consumer demand. As of July 08, the airline was flying to Sydney, Ho Chi Minh and Jakarta. The airline also operates a number of charter flights to Japan, including Tokyo. It's likely that their routes will be expanded in the near future.
