Charter pricing to Macau by route and aircraft type.
Macau combines its status as the world's leading gaming and integrated-resort destination with regional operator presence and a fast helicopter link to Hong Kong.
Macau demand peaks around major gaming, entertainment and convention events on the Cotai strip, the Macau Grand Prix (November), Chinese New Year and the year-end holidays, along with weekend leisure traffic from across Greater China. The territory's integrated resorts sustain demand through the year, while typhoon season from summer to early autumn can affect schedules.
Macau generates empty leg opportunities through one-way regional traffic across Greater China. The Taipei-Macau, Shanghai-Macau and Manila-Macau corridors produce the most frequent repositioning flights. Broker partners can alert you when a matching flight becomes available.
