Situated at the eastern end of Taipa island and neighbouring waters, is the only airport in Macau, which opened for commercial operations in November 1995.
Since then the airport has been a common transfer point for people traveling between mainland China and Taiwan, as well as a passenger hub for destinations in mainland China and Southeast Asia.
During 2006, the airport handled 5 million passengers and 220,000 tonnes of cargo.
The runway was built on a strip of reclaimed land in the sea, adjacent to Taipa Island, where the main terminal and air traffic control facilities are located. The runway is connected to the apron by two causeways. Runway 34 is ILS CAT II equipped.
The airport's designed capacity is 6,000,000 passengers per year, with processing capacity of up to 2,000 passengers per hour.
There are 24 parking spaces for aircraft in the apron, with 4 jetways. There are 10 gates.

First time I've purchased from Thai Creation and I'll say WOW they certainely make brilliant scenery seems to run well on FS2004. The detail is very good. Keep up the good work from a very happy customer I'll be purchasing more of there scenery in the future :)))
Thai Creation....WOW great job on this airport. For sometime now asia sceneries in FS2004 has been overlooked. Now you guys come along and offer so much more to Asia. It's just a opinion but boy would I like to see VHHH, ZBAA or ZSPD done by the team. The quality and fps that you get without neglecting attention to detail is top noch. As long as you produce great sceneries you will always have me as a customer. :)
The fifth offering in their collection of excellent Asia scenery, this is Macau International (VMMC), located on Taipa Island, west of Hong Kong and often used as an alternate airport for long hauls into Chek Lap Kok. Despite this, Macau is an International Airport in its own right, boasting over 5 million passengers a year! Thai Creation have an excellent but brief record of producing great scenery for the Far East This is only their fifth scenery release) and this product ticks all the boxes for a truly wonderful scenery. The things we expect from the big boys of FS scenery design are all here! Wonderful texturing, great runways and taxiways which look amazing especially at dawn or dusk. The terminal ramp area has just the right amount of oil stains on the concrete and is littered with static airport vehicles - just the right amount of them to make the place looked used - and a small helping of dynamic baggage trucks and airport cars darting about the place as well. In addition to a great airport, these chaps have seen fit to include the city area and casinos, along with some wonderful ground and elevated terrain texturing in the surrounding airport vacinity. My system is a Dual Core Intel Pentium 2.70 CPU using Windows XP Pro SP3 with 2GB of RAM, a fast 500GB hard disk and a GeForce 8800GT 512MB graphics card. My system has been fully optimised for FS9 by FS-GS Unification Systems to get the best out of FS9. For a one hour flight around Macau, followed by a 20-minute taxi around the ramp and terminal areas using the CESSNA 7 CHARLIE MIKE add-on aircraft, I found this place to be wonderful but with one or two issues that deserve mention. Despite framerates between 33-41fps on this system (never dropped below 31fps) the scenery suffers from stuttering at many locations. In addition, there are mistakes where the scenery is non-aligned at the point where the Macau scenery stops and the default starts again. This is especially seen over to the north west of the airport. I use terrain from FSGenesis for the entire World. The only other mistake I can find is that the red runway sign on taxiway GOLF leading from the main ramp area to the runway 16, is marked as for runway "34" - a small mistake that does not detract from the scenery unless you are taxi-ing in low visibility! Note that there is no manual with this scenery and the install file is a standard routine that will install into your FS folder, and create a folder called SIMMARKET if you do not already have one. Despite these issues, this is just a wonderful scenery and I would imagine Thai Creation may well look into the issues mentioned here if enough users have them. At this price, this scenery is simply wonderful and a true MUST HAVE if you like flying in Asia! Four Stars only because of the small issues I found. Well done Thai Creation!
A must have for anybody that desires flying in this area of the sim. Great frame rates, excellent quality all in one well done scenery. Thanks for still supporting fs9!
