Viva Macau beefs up flights for Macau — Jakarta direct route
Viva Macau has increased flight frequency to its Macau-Jakarta direct service to four times a week. Currently flying three times a week directly between Macau and Jakarta, Viva Macau will launch one additional flight to its weekly schedule, commencing August 28, 2007.

The new schedule will see the airline flying from Macau to Jakarta every Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and Sunday. In return from Jakarta to Macau, the schedule will be every Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday.

The service is operated by the airline’s Boeing 767 wide-body aircraft, offering two-class seating — Premium Class and Economy Class.

Viva Macau’s Chief Executive Con Korfiatis said the increase of frequency offers flexibility to different travelers in both Macau and Indonesia.

Korfiatis said, “Business travelers, especially for Indonesians who come to Macau for meetings, events, and exhibitions, will find it more convenient with our additional flights. The new schedule with Saturday and Sunday flights will also be attractive to more leisure travelers who are looking for weekend getaways.”

With Jakarta also being one gateway to Bali, Korfiatis said the new schedule will also benefit Macau holidaymakers looking for a beach holiday. Vicky Karantzavelou - Wednesday, August 08, 2007
