We fly on what we build
MACA operates its own flying trapeze and aerial academy in Phuket, Thailand. Every rig that leaves our workshop is a design we run daily — with students of all ages, in tropical heat, salt air and monsoon rain. Visit the academy at midaircircus.com.
That daily operation drives every design decision: the heavy-duty machine-woven, UV-treated net specified for durability; the double-wide pedestal board specified for safety and comfort; the stainless rigging hardware specified for marine environments. These are not catalogue choices — they are the components our own coaches and students depend on every day.
When you buy a rig from MACA, you are not buying from a fabricator who has never caught a flyer. You are buying from an operator that builds, installs, maintains and teaches on this equipment as its core business. See the full project costs on our flying trapeze rig pricing page or request a quote.

A complete project is four line items of equipment. The rig and structural anchors are required; the stock and safety mat packages are recommended. Full detail on the pricing page.

Your rig is fabricated and tested at the MACA workshop in Phuket, Thailand.
Anchors ship ahead of the rig so site concrete works finish before the crew arrives.
A two-person MACA team installs and load-tests the rig in an estimated 4 days, weather permitting — USD $2,800 plus travel.
Operator training at USD $400/day establishes SOPs and safety protocols — estimated 10 days with an Activity Manager and a team of at least 3.

Why buy from Asia
Shipping a multi-tonne rig across the Pacific or from Europe adds materially to the landed cost and transit time of any project in Asia, the Gulf or the Indian Ocean; shipping from Thailand does not. MACA rigs are engineered for tropical climates as standard — UV-treated nets, stainless hardware and water-resistant Sunbrella fabrics, proven on a Maldives beachfront in permanent sun and salt air. And because our installation team travels from Phuket rather than from the US or Europe, travel costs for installation, training and annual inspections stay low for the regions where our clients build.

[PLACEHOLDER: confirm public naming of the resort; otherwise use “5-star Maldives resort”]
MACA rigs also fly at Club Med Tomamu, Club Med Kiroro and Club Med Borneo, at Shangri-La Hambantota in Sri Lanka, at Escape theme parks in Malaysia and at Fly n Fit in Nagoya, Japan.
