MFM Macau

How deep the MFM board really is

The table above says where a courier can fly from MFM. This reads the same 39 destinations back for the questions a dispatcher asks second: how much of the board rests on one airline, how much of it runs less than daily, whether the return leg is as thick as the outbound, what the clock here does to a Gulf working day and which of the destinations shut at night, all of it computed on 2026-09-07 from AeroDataBox scheduled route statistics.

• 24of the 39 destinations are flown by one airline
• 18destinations run less than once a day
• 2destinations have four or more departures a day
• 61.5%of the destinations name Air Macau, the largest presence here

Who holds the departures at MFM

23 airlines appear on the MFM board and they do not hold it evenly. Air Macau is on 24 of the 39 destinations, 61.5 per cent of them, and on 13 of those it is the only airline flying the sector. The destinations it appears on carry 46.6 of the 60.4 departures a day this airport files, though other airlines fly some of the same sectors, so read that as reach rather than as a share of the aircraft.

The next largest presence is China Eastern Airlines on 6 destinations. 15 of the 23 airlines at MFM appear on a single destination each, which is the long tail every airport carries, and none of it is a rebooking option when the sector you need is the one that fell over.

An airport held this tightly is quick to book and slow to recover: with 24 of the 39 destinations on one airline, the second aircraft on an MFM sector is usually another Air Macau aircraft, and when there is not one the desk is looking at another airport rather than another airline. That is why the alternate airports listed above matter more at MFM than the destination count does.

How much of the MFM board is daily

Of the 39 destinations, 21 are flown at least once a day and 18 are not, 4 of them running once a week or less. The median destination on the MFM board is flown about once a day.

An average of 0.14 flights a day is the schedule statistic, and it is worth translating it before anything is promised to anybody: MFM to Phnom Penh (KTI) is about one a week, so a missed departure there is not a delay of hours, it is the next slot.

The five busiest destinations carry 22.9 of the 60.4 departures a day, 37.8 per cent of the whole board. The other 34 destinations are spread widely enough that a courier who misses the first departure at MFM usually has somewhere else to look on the same board.

The ten destinations out of MFM where one airline holds the sector and files fewer than seven departures a week, with the weekly figure taken as the average daily rate multiplied by seven rather than as a fixed timetable. 8 further destinations sit in the same position and are listed in the board above.

The way back from MFM

The desk holds the return direction for 28 of the 39 destinations, and a courier plans the way back on those figures rather than on the outbound. On none of those 28 does the return run more than a quarter thinner than the outbound, so a turnaround through MFM is a question of hours rather than of whether an aircraft exists.

It runs the other way as well: Shanghai (SHA) files 5.4 a day back into MFM against 2.4 outbound, which is the shape that strands a courier at this end rather than at the far end.

The clock at MFM

MFM keeps Asia/Macau time, four hours ahead of Dubai all year.

When it is 09:00 on a Dubai working morning it is 13:00 at MFM, so a nine to six day at each end overlaps for five hours. A customs question raised in the last four hours of the Dubai afternoon reaches nobody at MFM until the next morning, which is the practical limit on a same day instruction here.

The night at MFM

1 of the destinations from here carry a documented night restriction of their own, which is a departure time question at this end rather than an arrival problem at the other.

Into Tokyo (NRT) the door shuts at 23:00 local, so the last departure from MFM that lands inside it leaves around 17:40, on a modelled block of 4h 20m. Those one departure times out of MFM are worked backwards from the published window with the block time model this site uses everywhere, 720 to 880 km an hour by sector length with thirty minutes on the ground, so they are arithmetic rather than a timetable and the desk checks the published departure before it promises the landing.

Where MFM turns up on the rest of this site

The airport also sits behind the Macau country desk, which sets out the customs practice, the working week and the road legs behind this airport.

The site publishes 1 airport pair page that start or end at MFM, each with the distance, the block time, the carriers on the sector and a door to door clock. The busiest are Macau to Manila (MNL).

To price a movement rather than read the board, the route calculator opens with MFM already set as the origin, and it works out the flying time, the distance and the delivery hour for any of the 39 destinations above.
