The SAR Government reiterates that the termination of the sub-concession contract comply with laws

The SAR Government has always been rendering support and assistance to the operation of the airlines. Despite this, VIVA Macau cannot overcome its operational problems nor maintain the normal operation of the flight services, causing an impact to the passengers. The SAR Government has been giving its best endeavours to coordinate in this incident and provide assistance to the affected passengers.

In consideration of public interest and the need to protect Macao’s image as a tourism city, the SAR Government has no way but o request Air Macao to terminate the sub-concession contract with VIVA Macau and revoke its Air Operator Certificate. The SAR Government takes this opportunity to reiterate that such decision and all actions taken comply with laws.
