Viva Macau Airlines, Macau’s award-winning international low-fares airline, announced the introduction of checked baggage fees for Economy Class passengers. Effective 1st April, a service fee will apply to each Economy Class passenger who carries checked baggage for all flights except charter flights to Tokyo. For flights within 5 hours (i.e. Jakarta and Ho Chi Minh City), MOP70 (USD8) per passenger will be charged for any checked baggage up to 15 kilograms; for flights more than 5 hours (i.e. Sydney), MOP110 (AUD20 or USD12) per passenger will be charged.
“To ensure the lowest airfares, our policy is our passengers only pay for what they require. The new checked baggage fees will only apply for passengers who require this service,” Viva Macau Airlines CEO Con Korfiatis said. In addition, checked baggage allowance for Economy Class will also be adjusted from 20 kilograms to 15 kilograms, effective 1st April.
For passengers who made bookings before 1st April, checked baggage allowance remains unchanged and no checked baggage fee will apply.
