Which side of the plane to sit from Presidente Juscelino Kubistschek International Airport (Brasilia) to Orlando Bezerra de Menezes Airport (Juazeiro Do Norte)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior perspective of Lake Paranoá upon departure and more direct views of the São Francisco River basin and the religious landmarks of Juazeiro do Norte during descent.
Lake Paranoá
Spectacular views of the artificial lake surrounding the capital and its modern bridges.
São Francisco River
The 'River of National Integration' carving through the dry landscape of the interior.
Sobradinho Reservoir
One of the world's largest man-made lakes visible in the distance toward the east.
Colina do Horto
The iconic 27-meter tall statue of Padre Cícero overlooking the city during the landing pattern.
Opt for the right side on afternoon flights for the best lighting. During the descent, look specifically for the white statue of Padre Cícero on the hill, which is a major cultural landmark of the region.
Brasilia Pilot Plan
Aerial view of the iconic airplane-shaped city layout and the Eixo Monumental.
Cerrado Plateau
Vast stretches of the Brazilian Savanna transitioning into the semi-arid Sertão.
Araripe Escarpment
The dramatic northern cliffs of the Chapada do Araripe plateau as you enter Ceará.
Caatinga Biome
Unique white-forest vegetation typical of the Northeastern Brazilian interior.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight. This side is better for spotting the sharp geological lines of the Araripe plateau's edge during the final 15 minutes of the flight.
