A relative new-comer to the budget airline market in Asia, Viva Macau is, as you'd expect, based in Macau, one of those it's-China-but-not-really spots on the south coast of the country. Viva Macau comes with the promising slogan "Simply Different" and it must be doing something right: It recently won a New Airline of the Year award from the Centre for Asia Pacific Aviation.
Viva Macau flies from Macau to Jakarta, the Maldives and Sydney and has plans to expand to other long haul destinations including North America and Europe. In case you can't stand the thought of sitting in budget economy with no frills for the long haul, they also offer a Premium Class of ticket at a very non-budget price.
