Civil Aviation Authority of Macau SAR (Chinese: 澳門特別行政區民航局, Portuguese: Autoridade de Aviação Civil) is the Civil Aviation Authority in Macau and responsible for controlling and regulating air traffic an airspace within Macau.
The CAAM (or AACM) is a department of the Secretariat for Transport and Public Works (Macau). It was formally created in 1991 to replace the Macau International Airport Office (O Gabinete do Aeroporto Internacional de Macau) created in 1987.[1] Some of the roles of the Airport Office was taken over by the CAM-Macau International Airport Company Limited.
The AACM is headed by the President, who reports to the General Committee (as a member) and the Administrative Committee (as the head).
Like Hong Kong, the CAAM is an independent authority from the Civil Aviation Administration of China, but the airspace within Macau is controlled by the CAAC.
