An air route is scheduled to open between Macao and Singapore in July. According to a memorandum of understanding signed between the Macao Government Tourist Office and Silkair, a Singaporean air carrier, there will be two round trips on the route each week.
Both sides have agreed to jointly hold various promotions, consolidate links among Macao, Singapore and southeast Asia and spur tourism development.
Macao will be the 24th destination in the flights provided by Silkair, a regional air carrier set up in 1975.
