Macau International Airport will be welcoming more flights from mainland China to accommodate an expected spike in travel during the upcoming Lunar New Year holiday.
Air Macau, the facility’s leading local carrier, plans to add flights to Nanning, Guiyang, Qingdao, Tianjin, Taiyuan, Wenzhou, Zhengzhou, Chongqing, Jieyangchaoshan and Changzhou.
It also is adding a new Yiwu route, with three flights per week set to begin January 19, and is restarting an old route to Hefei that was suspended when the pandemic hit early last year.
Currently, Air Macau is running daily flights to and from Beijing, Shanghai, Hangzhou, Najing, Chengdu, Xiamen and Ningbo. These flights are scheduled to remain at their current frequency through February.
The weeklong Lunar New Year holiday, the biggest travel event in China, begins February 12.
