Macau International Airport — Nossa Senhora do Carmo, Macau

Macau International Airport (MFM) was built substantially on reclaimed land and opened in 1995, with its single runway constructed atop a breakwater-protected strip extending into the sea and linked to Taipa island by causeway. That reclamation-based design let planners create a full-length runway despite Macau's extremely limited natural land area, a constraint shared by the wider special administrative region. MFM serves as the home base for Air Macau and functions as an air gateway to Macau's massive casino and resort industry, which draws visitors especially from mainland China and Hong Kong, though many travelers to Macau still arrive by ferry rather than air. The airport's location gives it close proximity to the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge and the broader Pearl River Delta region, an area with several competing airports in close range. Passenger volumes at MFM fluctuate closely with the fortunes of Macau's gaming and tourism sectors.
