Shenzhen Airlines resumed the Macau-Wuxi flights last week.

The flights were suspended during the Beijing Olympic Games period due to a temporary restriction of international flights at Wuxi Airport, which is now fully operational again.

In a statement released on Oct. 24 by the Macau International Airport, currently Shenzhen Airlines offers a flight service that goes from Macau to Wuxi on a daily basis.

According to the travel agencies which often used the airline have been carrying on a series of promotion activities in Macau and East China, "and the outcome is remarkable," the statement said.

"After the resumption of the route, so far, passengers' response, especially leisure tourists, are very good," the statement added.

In August, Air Macau also resumed flights linking Macau and Chengdu, providing flights twice a week.

In addition, in order to better meet the passengers' needs, East Star Airlines will change the departure time of its winter schedule daily flight from Macau to Wuhan, and the newly revised schedule will start from Oct. 26, according to the statement.

"Though suffering from the financial tsunami, high oil prices, tightening policy of FIT [facilitated individual travel], cross-strait direct flights, and other unfavourable factors, Macau's aviation industry generally believes that as long as the trend of developing tourism to be Macau's leading industry remains unchanged, the prospects for the aviation industry will still be brighten," the statement added.
