'''Macau International Airport''' {{airport codes|MFM|VMMC}} is an [[international airport]] in the [[Special administrative regions of China|special administrative region]] of [[Macau]], situated at the eastern end of [[Taipa island]] and neighbouring waters. It opened for commercial operations on 9 November 1995, during [[Portuguese Macau|Portuguese administration of the region]].

Since its opening, the airport has been a common transfer point for people traveling between [[mainland China]] and [[Taiwan]], as well as a passenger hub for destinations in mainland China and [[Southeast Asia]]. During 2006, the airport handled 5 million passengers and 220,000 tonnes of cargo.<ref name="Macau 2007 Yearbook">{{Cite book |url=https://yearbook.gcs.gov.mo/uploads/yearbook_pdf/2007/myb2007e.pdf |title=Macao 2007 Yearbook |publisher=Government Information Bureau of the Macau SAR |year=2007 |isbn=978-99937-56-09-5 |language=en |archive-date=6 March 2025 |access-date=20 March 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250306114810/https://yearbook.gcs.gov.mo/uploads/yearbook_pdf/2007/myb2007e.pdf |url-status=dead }}</ref> In 2017 the number of passengers had increased to 7,165,803,<ref name="camacau website stats - passengers">{{Cite web |title=Traffic Statistics – Passengers |url=http://www.camacau.com/en/OurBusiness/TrafficStatsPassengers/ |access-date=20 March 2020 |website=Macau International Airport Co.

==History==
Before the opening of Macau airport, the nearest international airport was [[Kai Tak Airport|Kai Tak]] in [[British Hong Kong]] and passengers from Macau had to take a ferry to Hong Kong in order to fly out of Kai Tak. Upon planning, Macau airport was said that it would relieve the congestion at Kai Tak.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Finlay |first1=Victoria |title=Macau airport to 'relieve Kai Tak' |url=https://www.scmp.com/article/60370/macau-airport-relieve-kai-tak |agency=The South China Morning Post |date=January 24, 1994}}</ref> The Macau airport was constructed on [[reclaimed land]] adjacent to the islands of [[Taipa]] and [[Coloane]].<ref name="ns1295">{{cite news | title=Macau Airport built on reclaimed land opens | work=New Straits Times | date=1995-12-09 | author=Menon, Vijayan | id={{ProQuest|269071286}}}}</ref> It cost US$1 billion to build. Commercial air service began on 9 November 1995. The first departure was an [[Air Macau]] flight to Beijing, and the first arrival was a [[Malaysia Airlines]] flight from Kuala Lumpur.<ref>{{cite news | title=Absence of facilities at Macau airport 'normal' | work=South China Morning Post | date=1995-11-10 | author=Ionides, Nicholas | id={{ProQuest|265265309}}}}</ref> The official inauguration ceremony took place on 8 December 1995, and [[Portuguese President|Portuguese president]] [[Mário Soares]] presided over it.<ref name="ns1295" />

In April 1996, [[TAP Air Portugal]] started service to Lisbon using [[Airbus A340|Airbus A340s]].<ref>{{cite news | title=Route developments | work=World Airline News | date=1996-02-05 | id={{ProQuest|195017579}}}}</ref><ref name="fg96">{{cite web | url=https://www.flightglobal.com/tap-trickles-into-macau/8188.article | title=TAP trickles into Macau | work=Airline Business | date=31 July 1996 | accessdate=2 June 2021 | author=Whitaker, Richard}}</ref> It cooperated with [[Sabena]] on the route; the flight stopped in [[Brussels Airport|Brussels]], and TAP allocated a certain number of seats to the airline on the segment between Brussels and Macau. TAP encountered difficulties in running the flights. The crew had to spend long layovers in Macau because the service operated only twice a week. Additionally, TAP and Air Macau, in which the former held a stake, were unable to coordinate their schedules, making connections between the Lisbon flight and Air Macau's network inconvenient.<ref name="fg96" /> In April 1997, TAP moved the stopover to Bangkok in hopes of attracting more passengers.<ref>{{cite news | url=https://www.scmp.com/article/200564/macaus-airport-gamble | title=Macau's airport gamble | work=South China Morning Post | date=1997-06-19 | accessdate=26 February 2023}}</ref><ref>{{cite news | title=Aviation - Direct Flight to Portugal Makes Debut | work=Bangkok Post | date=1997-04-09 | author=Tansubhapol, Bhanravee}}</ref> Nevertheless, it was losing money on the route. The company's chairman stated in November 1997 that he wanted to end the link but that he faced opposition from the [[Portuguese government]], which owned the airline.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.flightglobal.com/turn-off-the-tap/18564.article | title=Turn off the TAP | work=Airline Business | date=30 November 1997 | accessdate=2 June 2021}}</ref> TAP stopped serving Macau the following year.<ref>{{cite news | url=https://www.scmp.com/article/391183/buyer-sight-air-macau-stake | title=Buyer in sight for Air Macau stake | work=South China Morning Post | date=2002-09-13 | accessdate=26 February 2023 | author=Lo, Joseph}}</ref>

==Facilities==
{{Single source|date=November 2024|section}}

===Terminal===
The airport's designed capacity is 10,000,000 passengers per year, with processing capacity of up to 2,300 passengers per hour.<ref>{{Cite web |title=CAM :: Macau International Airport Co. Ltd. |url=https://www.camacau.com/en/OurBusiness/AirportCapacity |access-date=2024-07-20 |website=www.camacau.com}}</ref> The airport does not have a night curfew. There are 24 parking spaces for aircraft in the apron, with five [[jetway]]s. There are 10 gates. As in Hong Kong, Macau has its own immigration policies and is a separate customs territory from [[mainland China]]. All travellers, including those to mainland China and Hong Kong, need to go through the immigration and customs inspections of international flights.

===Runway and aprons===
{{Unreferencedsect|date=November 2024}}

The airport's runway was built on a strip of [[reclaimed land]] in the sea, adjacent to [[Taipa Island]] where the main terminal and [[air traffic control]] facilities are located, unlike in [[Hong Kong International Airport|Hong Kong]], where [[Chek Lap Kok]] has them all on a reclaimed island. The runway is connected to the apron by two [[Causeway|causeways]]. Runway 34 is [[Instrument Landing System|ILS]] CAT II equipped. Navigational and radio aids are located at either end of the runway. Despite its small area, the airport is capable of handling [[Boeing 747]]s and [[Antonov 124]]s, which forms a vital freight link between local manufacturers and overseas markets. Its catering facility can produce up to 10,000 meals per day.

===Other tenants===
Other tenants of the airport are the [[Macau Customs Service]], the Macau Immigration Department/Services ([[Public Security Police Force of Macau]]), the Macau Business Aviation Centre, [[Servair|Servair Macau]] and [[John Menzies|Menzies Macau]].

==Redevelopment==

Since 2016, Macau's government has been developing a master plan for the airport's expansion.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Macau International Airport Master Plan |url=https://www.aacm.gov.mo/development.php?lg=eng |access-date=27 April 2020 |website=Civil Aviation Authority of Macao |language=en}}</ref> To be done in three phases, the most visible sections of it broke ground in 2020.<ref>{{Cite web |date=16 March 2020 |title=Macau Airport Begins Construction |url=https://www.internationalairportreview.com/news/113782/macau-airport-construction-ptb-south-extension/ |website=International Airport Review |language=en}}</ref>
