Private Jet Macau to Manila

The short hop between Macau and Manila covers only around 626 nautical miles across the South China Sea, a brief sector ideally suited to a light jet or very light jet. Aircraft such as the Embraer Phenom 300 or the Cessna Citation CJ4 are perfectly matched to the pairing, combining efficient economics with a comfortable cabin and the ability to climb swiftly to a cruising altitude in the low forties of thousands of feet before beginning the descent little more than an hour later. Departures are handled from Macau International Airport, the compact and efficient gateway to the former Portuguese enclave on the Pearl River Delta, where private handling makes for a swift and civilised start. The arrival into Ninoy Aquino International Airport places travellers at the heart of the Philippine capital, a sprawling metropolis on the shores of Manila Bay whose historic walled quarter of Intramuros recalls centuries of Spanish rule and whose famous sunsets draw admirers to the bayside promenade each evening. This is a route that serves business and leisure travellers alike, linking the gaming and commercial capital of Asia with the political and cultural centre of the Philippines in a flight brief enough to preserve most of the working day. For executives it offers the flexibility of departing on their own schedule, while for leisure travellers it opens the way to the beaches and islands of the wider archipelago. On a sector this short the emphasis falls firmly on convenience, with the ability to depart when it suits and land close to the final destination proving far more valuable than range. It is a crisp regional mission at which the light jet excels, delivering time saved and privacy preserved.
