Air Macau (NX) July 2025 Operational Report

Flight Activity Overview

Total arriving flights: 2,263

Year-over-year change: -0.02%

Air Macau handled steady summer demand in July, driven by leisure travel to Macau and short‑haul flows across the Greater Bay Area. The -0.02% year‑over‑year change reflects a more balanced capacity plan after last year’s rapid recovery, with schedules tuned to weekend peaks and group travel. Competition from nearby hubs is shaping fares and timings, so the airline concentrates frequency where demand is most resilient.

On-Time Performance and Cancellations

On-time arrival rate: 72.07%

Year-over-year change (on-time rate): +0.06%

Cancelled flights: 321

Year-over-year change (cancellations): +0.27%

Punctuality reached 72.07%, with 321 cancellations (+0.27% YoY). Performance was influenced by typical South China summer weather, Pearl River Delta air‑traffic coordination, and evening ground‑handling peaks. The carrier reinforced turn‑time discipline, proactively swapped aircraft for minor tech issues, and refined block times on congested corridors.

Key Hubs

Macau (MFM) remains the core hub, enabling access to the Greater Bay Area and strong point‑to‑point demand in nearby markets. The network focuses on short‑ and medium‑haul services to Mainland China, Taiwan and Southeast Asia, supported by robust summer leisure and VFR segments. Banked waves around midday and evening support connections while keeping ground time compact.

Outlook

For passengers, Air Macau offers reliable short‑haul coverage with simple transfers at MFM; build in buffer time during late‑afternoon storm windows. Into late summer and early autumn, on‑time performance is expected to remain broadly stable with incremental gains from schedule buffering and resource alignment. The airline will keep fine‑tuning peak‑day capacity and evaluate selective frequency adds where demand persists.
