Our Story

Simply Different

When VIVA Macau was founded in 2004, our team of experienced and dedicated airline managers pledged to create an international low fare airline that truly reflects our home city, Macau - Asia's new Las Vegas.

Macau is a truly cosmopolitan city on the southern coast of China, with five centuries of romance and an exciting future that combines the best elements of Europe and Asia.

In Portuguese, VIVA means "Hurray", evoking images of fun and celebration. For the VIVA Macau team, that's exactly the kind of service attitude and environment we want to give to our customers everyday.

VIVA Macau is Macau's second home airline, but the only one focused on providing an international network of services from Macau International Airport. Our airline will fly to an exciting range of international destinations - opening new routes for Macau and the Pearl River Delta, and complementing Macau's development as a centre for entertainment, leisure and business tourism.

VIVA Macau will operate a fleet of modern Boeing 767 wide-body jetliners, with up to 245 seats in a two-class configuration. Our aircraft have a maximum range of up to 12 hours, allowing VIVA Macau to provide passengers with non-stop services from Macau to cities as far away as Moscow, Sydney or Milan. We will launch services this year with a fleet of two Boeing 767s, building up to 10 to 15 aircraft within five years.

With the Boeing 767 jetliner, VIVA Macau also has significant space in our belly-holds for airfreight consignments, an important strategic consideration given that Macau sits on the edge of the Pearl River Delta, the world's manufacturing workshop. That means we can rely on freight revenues to help develop new routes for Macau, something which other airlines using narrow-body aircraft just cannot do.

VIVA Macau's senior team is crewed by some of the best and brightest airline managers from blue chip airlines in Asia and around the world, including Singapore Airlines, Cathay Pacific Airways, Lufthansa and Dragonair. Collectively, the team has more than 200 years of experience in airline management and operations, aircraft engineering, and in-flight and customers services. Our team is committed to giving our customers a professional and reliable, yet dynamic and people-oriented airline experience.
