Which side of the plane to sit from Pinto Martins International Airport (Fortaleza) to Governador Aluízio Alves International Airport (Natal)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft offers a continuous panoramic view of the stunning Northeastern Brazilian coastline, featuring iconic sand dunes, red cliffs, and the transition into the semi-arid hinterland.
Beberibe Cliffs
Famous 'Falésias' with vibrant red and orange sands contrasting against the blue sea.
Jaguaribe River
The mouth of Ceará's largest river near Aracati, showing intricate sandbars and mangroves.
Coastal Wind Farms
Modern clusters of white wind turbines lining the coast of Rio Grande do Norte.
Caatinga Landscapes
The unique semi-arid vegetation of the Brazilian Northeast visible as you look slightly inland.
Genipabu Dunes
Massive white sand dunes near Natal, often visible during the final descent phase.
The right side is significantly more scenic for this short hop. Book a window seat away from the wing for unobstructed views of the cliffs. Afternoon flights provide the best lighting for the red-hued dunes of Beberibe and Canoa Quebrada.
Praia do Futuro
A clear view of Fortaleza's main urban beach and the emerald waters of the Atlantic during departure.
Mucuripe Port
Industrial and maritime activity where large vessels dock near the Fortaleza coastline.
Oceanic Horizons
Vast, uninterrupted views of the South Atlantic with deep turquoise color gradients.
Sit on the left if you prefer a sunrise over the ocean for early morning flights. On approach to Natal, you may catch a glimpse of the northern reefs if the flight path circles over the sea.
