Viva and Sydney
Bored-as,
Sounds like they were not delayed too long by the regulators, whoever was responsible. Internet says Viva "sources" claim it to be the Macau regulator's fault. The Macau authorities have said nothing...
I'll be interested to see what people are paying to fly to Macau from Sydney on Viva. I've had this discussion previously on the message board with Arrowhead but I see no obvious reason for passengers to sign up for a charter seat unless they are getting a serious discount to a CX/QF fare.
It's interesting - Macau aviation - 500k people and more home airlines than most European countries! My bets are on Venetian (cash, focus, brand) and Macau Asia Express (shorter haul to Asian consumers, with a tighter operational fit to the traditional lower cost model).
