CNF → CPV
Which side of the plane to sit from Tancredo Neves International Airport (Belo Horizonte) to Presidente João Suassuna Airport (Campina Grande)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the urban sprawl of Belo Horizonte upon departure, the crossing of the São Francisco River, and the dramatic ascent onto the Borborema Plateau during the approach into Campina Grande.
Greater Belo Horizonte
Immediate views of the industrial and metropolitan landscape surrounding CNF airport during the initial climb.
Jequitinhonha Valley
The transitioning landscape of the historic valley, known for its deep cultural roots and undulating hills.
Rio São Francisco
A spectacular crossing of the 'River of National Unity' as it winds through the dry interior towards the coast.
Planalto da Borborema
The distinct change in topography as the flight enters Paraíba, climbing over the rocky escarpments of the plateau.
Campina Grande Cityscape
A great view of the 'Rainha da Borborema' including the Açude Velho area if the approach is from the east.
Choose the right side for morning flights to keep the sun on the opposite side of the plane. This side is particularly scenic during the descent into CPV, offering a better perspective of the plateau's edge and the city's central landmarks.
Serra do Espinhaço
The rugged, ancient quartz formations of this extensive mountain range stretching north from Belo Horizonte.
Sertão Landscape
The unique Caatinga biome with its sparse vegetation and reddish-brown earth characteristic of the Brazilian interior.
Chapada Diamantina Horizon
On clear days, the distant silhouettes of the iconic table-top mountains in central Bahia are visible to the far west.
Montes Claros
A bird's-eye view of the largest urban center in Northern Minas Gerais as the flight path passes nearby.
Campina Grande West Side
Final views of the expanding residential districts of the city as the aircraft aligns for its landing.
Sit on this side for afternoon flights to avoid direct sunlight and enjoy the golden hour over the Sertão. It provides the best views of the setting sun over the vast semi-arid plains of Bahia.
