[edit] Taiwan Strait
More than 70% of Air Macau's revenue comes from transporting passengers across the Taiwan Strait to Macau. Every week, Air Macau has 72 round trip flights scheduled between Macau and Taipei and 28 round trip flights scheduled between Macau and Kaohsiung.
Since Air Macau started doing business in 1995, no other airline has yet to offer one-plane service for passengers traveling between Taiwan and Beijing, Shanghai, Xiamen, and other cities on the Chinese mainland. Although they must complete a brief transfer procedure in the Macau International Airport and wait about thirty minutes with their carry-on luggage in the departure lobby, passengers can then board the same plane once again and continue to their destination. The Air Macau staff can also help Taiwanese passengers on the flight get their PRC Entry Endorsement.
