CGH → MGF
Which side of the plane to sit from Congonhas Airport (Sao Paulo) to Regional de Maringá - Sílvio Nane Junior Airport (Maringa)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of São Paulo's iconic skyline upon departure and provides the best angle to see the famous cone-shaped Cathedral of Maringá during the final approach.
Paulista Avenue
A stunning view of Brazil's financial heart, including the TV antennas and the MASP museum, especially on northern departures.
Serra da Cantareira
The massive urban forest at the edge of São Paulo provides a sharp contrast between the concrete jungle and preserved Atlantic Forest.
Tietê River
The flight path roughly parallels this historic river as it cuts through the interior of São Paulo state toward the west.
Cathedral of Maringá
The cone-shaped Cathedral Basilica Minor of Our Lady of Glory, South America's tallest church, is often visible on the right during approach to runway 10.
The right side is the winner for landmarks. For the best experience, choose an afternoon flight to have the sun behind you, illuminating the Maringá skyline. During the final descent into MGF, the right side usually provides a breathtaking view of the city's planned urban layout and its iconic central cathedral.
Southern São Paulo
Bird's eye view of the Pinheiros riverbank, the Octavio Frias de Oliveira bridge, and the dense corporate districts of Itaim Bibi.
Interlagos Circuit
On southern departures, the legendary Formula 1 track is clearly visible alongside the Guarapiranga reservoir.
Paranapanema Basin
As the flight nears the border of Paraná state, the lush green valleys surrounding the Paranapanema River come into view.
Agribusiness Mosaic
The landscape transforms into a geometric patchwork of red-soil farms and extensive soy and corn plantations of Northern Paraná.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and glare. If departing towards the south from CGH, keep your camera ready for the Interlagos racetrack within the first 3 minutes of flight. This side is also excellent for viewing the 'Terra Roxa' (red soil) characteristic of the Maringá region during descent.
