The aeronautical authorities of China's Macao and Vietnam have signed a new Memorandum of Understanding regarding air transport, according to an official press release issued on Thursday.

 

The release from Macao's Information Bureau said the two sides, after consultations held in Macao on August 30, revised the 1996 MoU, lifting the limitations on capacity, frequency, aircraft type and the designation of airlines.

 

The new MoU will help "enhance the air transport market between the two places," said the release.
