Viva Macau appears to have been resigned to bankruptcy, with the company posting a notice on its website that it is “seeking legal advice for an orderly and responsible winding down of the business.”

According to some reports, Viva Macau was hoping to regain its AOC and restart flying on April 2, but AWAS, which owns the three Boeing 767s leased by Viva Macau, has already applied to deregister the aircraft, effectively leaving the airline with no possibility of trading out of its financial hardship.
