Inflight retail concessionaire Inflight Sales Group (ISG) has announced it will end its contract with Air Macau on November 26 because of extensive credit card fraud affecting duty-free sales. King Power Group will take over the contract.

ISG said that over the past 12 months up to 25% of duty-free sales on the airline had been made with fraudulent credit cards. With several organised gangs operating in Taiwan, fraud has been prevalent on the carrier's main duty-free route to China via Macau. Some 70% of the airline's passengers are Taiwanese.
