The inter-city flight is 40 minutes long and includes a bonus aerial sightseeing tour of the destination before landing at either Phu Bai International Airport or Danang International Airport.
Passengers can also choose 30-minute scenic flights over Danang or Hue only, for an aerial tour of these cities and their surrounding area. The flights will be aboard a 12-passenger Cessna Grand Caravan 208B-EX, one of the industry’s safest, most powerful single-engine aeroplanes.
The Hue and Danang flights are an excellent alternative to the two-hour road trip, usually undertaken by car, bus, train or motorbike. The flight carries travellers over some of Vietnam’s most beautiful coastal scenery, including the renowned Hai Van Pass, described on the BBC program ‘Top Gear’ as “one of the best coast roads in the world”.
The sightseeing flight over Hue takes in the city and coastal highlights including the UNESCO-listed Citadel and Imperial Enclosure as well as the bamboo fish mazes of the Tam Giang Lagoon where the Perfume, Bo and O Lau Rivers empty out to the sea.
The scenic flight over Danang affords stunning views over the city’s 30km-long coastline. From the lush Son Tra Peninsula, home to Monkey Mountain and Vietnam’s tallest Lady Buddha statue, along the Han River, and down to the Cham Islands, near Hoi An. The plane then circles back over Danang’s latest attraction, the sensational Golden Bridge in the Ba Na Hills.
