Image:Macau_International_Airport.jpg|right|thumb|A birds eye view of the Macau International Airport. The airport's 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 bridges. Its designed capacity is 6 000 000 passengers per year. Despite its small physical size, the airport is capable of handling Boeing 747s, which form a vital freight link between local manufacturers and overseas markets. Macau International is also the hub for international carrier Air Macau and helicopter operator East Asia Airlines, as well as the main operations base for the JetAsia air charter company. The airport is a common transfer point for people traveling between Mainland China and Republic of China|Taiwan, and is also one of the only world airports with direct flights to North Korea. Anomalies Macau has its own immigration policies and is a separate customs territory from Mainland China. Travellers between Macau and Mainland China need to go through immigration and customs checks. Flights between Macau and Mainland China are therefore treated as international flights.
