Default Viva Macau today

Viva Macau B767 arrived today sporting additional symbols and writing. Caught everyone by surprise as we were at the fence near the 25 holding point.

Someone noted that it looked like B-MAY? Any confirmation/photos?

When I arrived home I checked PP and there was an unidentified Chinese a/c with a flight code of 44 and a hexcode of 780419 which departed around 12:30.

B-MAW is the only Viva Macau plane to have a special scheme and igt is a 767-300 not a 200.

Was that the plane?

Viva Macau, from recent memory, recently took delivery of its 3rd plane, another 767-300, maybe it was that

after some research

Viva Macau Airlines Welcomes Arrival of Its Third Aircraft & Announces Partnership With MGTO to Promote Macau Tourism to the World
(September 23, 2009) Macau, SAR – Viva Macau, Macau’s international award-winning airline, took delivery of its 3rd aircraft, a Boeing 767-300ER. With enhanced capacity and range, the new aircraft will commence commercial services this week immediately upon local Macau registration....

The new aircraft is strikingly painted with the 2009 promotional theme of the Macau Government Tourism Office (MGTO), "Experience Macau!"

Its a great looking aircraft i reckon. Also has anyone noticed that over the last couple of weeks a fair few of the Viva flights have been canceled? Is this due to loads or other reasons?
