Macau International Airport (MFM), or Aeroporto Internacional de Macau in Portuguese, is the main international gateway into the former Portuguese colony of Macau, now a Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China.
Macau International Airport opened in November 1995, while Macau was still under Portuguese rule. The airport's runway was built on a strip of reclaimed land in the sea, adjacent to Taipa Island where the passenger terminal and air traffic control facilities are located. Causeways connect the runway to the parking apron.
Macau International Airport is designed to handle 6,000,000 passengers a year, and up to 2,000 passengers per hour. The airport does not close at night, and can operate around the clock. Despite its small size, Macau International Airport is able to handle Boeing 747s, which is used for cargo services between local manufacturers and the overseas market.

About this website
Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.
While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
