Viva Macau is a budget airline covering both regional and long-haul routes. It focuses on providing a network of air services from its home base, Macau, and the Pearl River Delta of Southern China. The airline operates a fleet of wide-bodied Boeing 767s and operates non-stop service to several points in Asia and beyond. The airline has a two-class cabin service — Premium and Economy Class. It employs cabin and cockpit crew and ground staff from 21 different nationalities. Viva Macau is a privately-owned company whose shareholders include its chairman Ngan In Leng and MKW Capital, an international venture-capital firm with a series of equity investments across a diverse portfolio of businesses in Macau.

Fleet
Viva Macau currently operates following aircraft:
- 1 Boeing 767-200ER (B-MAV,ex Aeroméxico
) - 1 Boeing 767-300 (B-MAW, ex PBair
)
Acquisition of more aircraft is planned, building up to a fleet of 10-15 aircraft within five years.
Partners
The de-facto national carrier of Macau, Air Macau, has concluded a licensing agreement to let Viva Macau fly (since Air Macau owns the air-traffic rights to destinations that Viva Macau intends to fly to). In addition, Viva Macau is negotiating further co-operation with Air Macau in the form of joint marketing or code-sharing. The two airlines are not expected to compete with each other while Air Macau continues to concentrate on short-haul full-service routes, especially domestic flights to China and Taiwan.
Destinations
In its short history Viva Macau has chopped and changed its destinations depending on consumer demand. As of July 08, the airline was flying to Sydney, Ho Chi Minh and Jakarta. The airline also operates a number of charter flights to Japan, including Tokyo. It's likely that their routes will be expanded in the near future.
