The first seaplane flights between Hue and Da Nang will officially take off on April 25, operated by Hai Au Aviation and offering stunning sightseeing of UNESCO World Heritage Sites in the two cities.
Using a 12-passenger Cessna aircraft, Hai Au offers three options of 30-minute, 40-minute, or 80-minute flights between Phu Bai Airport in Hue and Da Nang International Airport.
Passengers will have the opportunity to gain a bird’s eye view of Vietnam’s most beautiful coastal scenery near the former imperial city of Hue, its Huong (Perfume) River flowing through the center of the city, and nearby Tam Giang Lagoon, as well as Da Nang’s fine beaches, Son Tra Peninsula – home to Monkey Mountain and Vietnam’s tallest Lady Buddha statue, Hai Van Mountain Pass – which is among The Guardian’s top 10 great scenic drives in the world, and the city’s latest attraction, Golden Bridge – with giant God-like hands in Ba Na Hills, together with Hoi An ancient town’s charming architecture by the Han River and its green Cham Island.
Daily flights will take off at 8am, 9am, 10.20am, 12pm, 1pm, 2pm and 3pm from Phu Bai Airport. Tickets cost $87 for 30 minutes, $155 for 40 minutes, and $266 for 80 minutes.
The new service is also a great alternative to the two-hour trip by car, bus, train, or motorbike. It is expected to not only bring more convenience and save time for passengers but also promote local tourism.
