It look like the game is well and truly over now, from the AACM website,

AACM has started the de-registration of VIVA Macau's aircraft

Following the request made by the leasing company to the Civil Aviation Authority (AACM) to de-register the aircraft of VIVA Macau, AACM has started the de-registration process after having examined the legal documents according to the respective procedures. AACM will try to cope with the request of the leasing company to expedite the work. AACM reiterates that VIVA Macau does not have conditions to provide air services now.
AACM received a notification on 29 March from the Macao legal representative of the leasing company of VIVA Macau which stated that due to the non-compliance with the provisions of the leasing contract by VIVA Macau, the leasing company has already terminated the contract with VIVA Macau and requested AACM to de-register the aircraft. In accordance with the contract, the leasing company has the full power to take such action.

The SAR Government has always been providing assistance to the operation of the local airlines. The SAR Government is therefore disappointed at the fact and regrets to see that VIVA Macau cannot overcome its operational problems after the continuous support and aid rendered to them. In addition, the SAR Government emphasizes that the termination of the sub-concession contract and the revocation of the Air Operator Certificate comply with laws.

Perfect opportunity for CX to buy the AOC and put the 5 X 777-200's into all Economy config ad create a proper low cost model.

But then again, **traffic**, wouldn't it be a bit of a prob for CX if they do that cos it might be a 'conflict of interest' due to the fact that they may already be flying pax to places like CGK, MEL, SYD etc formerly serviced by Viva? Not that l know much about things like this

With What aircraft, the current B767's have returned to the USA.

[crwjerk]

Yes, we need more Low Cost Carriers to pop up to keep Pilot wages down. It was bound to happen, sooner or later, as it will with the others who can't afford to operate.

re-launch

it would be very hard to do a re-launch coz it will involve a lot of money. and of course we have to start from the beginning. for those who were critical of viva, now is the time to rejoice and shout out that "you were right all along". but for us who were affected, well that's life.our misfortune is the triumph for some who were waiting for the company's demise. Cheers to viva employees. we worked hard until the very end.
