Departure
Phuket Airport, business aviation terminal

A Bell 407 flight from Phuket Airport to the Phi Phi Islands, about 65 km over the Andaman Sea. Over Phi Phi Don you see two bays, Ton Sai and Loh Dalum, with the village on the narrow strip of land between them. The pilot then follows the cliffs of Phi Phi Leh and circles Maya Bay. There is no landing on the islands, this is a flyover. The helicopter then flies straight back to the airport.

The cabin has 6 passenger seats, each with a headset to talk to the pilot. The baggage compartment is about 0.5 m³, and a camera bag is all you need for this flight. Passengers are weighed before take-off. There are usually fewer clouds in the morning, so we suggest departing between 8:00 and 10:00.
