SIA adds third Macau-US service

Singapore Airlines (SIA) plans to launch a third freighter service from Macau International Airport to the United States.

Roger Mowbray Stephenson, marketing director at CAM-Macau International Airport, said the weekly service would begin in Singapore and continue via Macau to Anchorage, Chicago, Ohio and New York.

'The airline will use a Boeing 747-400 freighter, which will give Macau airport an additional service to Chicago and New York in the summer,' he said.

Malaysia Airline System flies two freighter services a week from Macau using B747-200s.

The two services are from Kuala Lumpur to Macau and connect with its network to Amsterdam in Europe, via Dubai.

The third service, which connects to Melbourne, will begin on March 26.
