Macau can benefit with India flights

Macau could benefit from a direct route to India, Antonio Rato, senior assistant to the chairman and Macau International Airport’s (CAM) marketing director, told the media on the sidelines of the Yunnan sister airport signing agreement yesterday.
“Viva Macau, if they have the new aircraft available, India is a good market to operate to, and so is Moscow”, he said.
Rato said that opening a route between India and Macau would be beneficial because of the size of the Indian market and the increased frequency of Indians visiting Macau today. “They have to arrive in Hong Kong or Guangzhou and as the number of people looking to come to Macau is increasing, it's just natural that they'll generate that market.”
From CAM's standpoint, India is one of the company's top markets to explore, as well as Japan and Korea in the upcoming months.
“It's also the target market for tourism and it's a pity that Air Macau doesn't have direct flights there, so we are relying on Viva, but they are also talking with their India counterparts to try to get some of them interested in flying to Macau starting next year”, Rato added.
