The Macao-based Air Macau on Wednesday operated its second daily flight on the route from Macao to Beijing.

To mark the opening of the fresh flight, merchant prizes as free tickets, digital cameras and mobile phones are offered to passengers who get the win-cards from Air Macau's web-page, said the company.

Air Macau has reinforced its 12-strong air craft squad by purchasing a new A321 air bus, making the total 13, it said.

The air company is to open the third daily flight between Macao and Beijing early in 2006, it said.
