Macau's airport opened in 1995 on an extended peninsula of Taipa Island reclaimed from the sea. Its present capacity is 6 million passengers per year. Regular flights connect with many of China's largest cities, Taiwan, South Korea, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Manila and Bangkok.
Airport facilities: These include currency exchange, Internet access, tourist office, hotel and car rental booths, a Macanese restaurant and a fast food cafe, duty-free, luggage store and private shower facilities. All signage is in Portuguese and Chinese characters, with plenty in English as well.
Transport to the city: It's a 15 minute drive across the bridge from downtown Macau. Buses to and from downtown are operated by two companies: No. 26 by Transmac (tel: 2827 1122; website: www.transmac.com.mo), and No. 21 by TCM (tel: 2885 0060; website: www.tcm.com.mo). There is a taxi rank outside the main terminal. A direct Air Express ferry link operates between Macau airport and Hong Kong's Shun Tak ferry terminal (tel: 2886 1111).
Another airborne access route is provided by Heli Express, which operates a frequent daily helicopter service from the Shun Tak Centre in Hong Kong to the Macau Ferry Terminal. (tel: 2872 7288; website: www.heliexpress.com).
