The participants from Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Philippines, Australia and China (which covers Mainland and Macao) were selected to jump by AirAsia and AJ Hackett via a social media contest held a month before Crazy Jump Day.

AirAsia Hong Kong and Macao CEO Celia Lao said, “It’s been really amazing to see all these participants dressed like destinations that AirAsia flies to from Macao, either direct or Fly-Thru via one of our key transit hubs. The inventiveness that went into designing and putting together such unique costumes is testament to the spirit of adventure and exploration one would expect from fans of air travel and bungy jumping.”

AJ Hackett CEO AJ Hackett said, “I am both delighted and amazed to see the effort this year’s participants made putting together their costumes. It’s also been amazing partnering with AirAsia for this year’s event and I want to send a big thank you to them for flying all these brave adventure seekers into Macao and making it possible for them to jump off the Macau Tower with us. It’s our wish that this yearly Crazy Jump Day event brings great value to Macao, the Macau Tower and our partners, and we look forward to holding many more successful events in the future.”

Macau Tower Crazy Jump Day 2017 is powered by AirAsia and AJ Hackett, in support of the goal to bring more visitors to Macao as well as to Macau Tower to experience the thrill and excitement of the world’s highest commercial bungy jump and SkyWalk.
