Santa Cruz das Flores
Immediate views of the airport's home town and its charming white-washed houses right after takeoff.
Flores East Coast
A stunning perspective of the lush, green cliffs and jagged rock formations lining the northern tip of Flores.
Vila do Corvo
A perfect view of the entire village of Corvo, the smallest and most isolated municipality in the Azores.
CVU Approach
An intimate look at the tiny airstrip and the southern port as the plane descends for a landing.
Sit on the right for the most iconic views. You will see the departure island of Flores shrinking behind you and the entire settlement of Corvo appearing as you land. This side typically gets the best lighting in the morning hours. Be prepared for a very quick flight—cameras should be ready before the engines start.

North Atlantic Expanse
Uninterrupted views of the deep blue Atlantic Ocean between the two most remote islands of the Azores.
Marine Life Spotting
The channel between Flores and Corvo is a hotspot for cetaceans; look for splashes from dolphins or whale blows.
Corvo West Coast
Distant views of the rugged, inaccessible western cliffs of Corvo if the aircraft makes a wide approach.
Caldeirão Rim
On clear days, you may see the high western ridge of the massive volcanic crater that defines Corvo's landscape.
The left side is best for those hoping to spot marine life in the channel. Since the flight is extremely short, usually under 15 minutes, keep your eyes peeled from the moment the landing gear retracts. If the plane approaches Corvo from the north, this side may get a glimpse of the Caldeirão's inner walls.
