The Director of the Macau International Airport said yesterday that “most probably within this year” there will be direct flights linking Macau to India.  Speaking on the sidelines of the fourth Chinese and Portuguese-Speaking Countries Airports Conference – Macau 2013, António Barros revealed that the issue is “under negotiations, as the press have been reporting.”
The Guinea-Bissau national added: “The flights depend on the air carrier that is preparing them. The process needs a lot of planning, in order to avoid losses to the company.”
The flights will be secured by the Indian budget carrier SpiceJet, which has been adding new destinations to its international flight network as part of an overseas expansion plan.
The budget carrier based in Chennai flies to Kathmandu, Colombo, Malay, Kabul, Dubai, Sharjah, Riyadh and Guangzhou. According to the Wall Street Journal, it is India’s second largest budget carrier by market share after InterGlobe Aviation.
