PMW → GYN
Which side of the plane to sit from Brigadeiro Lysias Rodrigues Airport (Palmas) to Santa Genoveva Airport (Goiania)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the massive Palmas Reservoir during departure and better lighting for morning flights while traversing the Cerrado heartland.
Palmas Reservoir
The immense blue expanse of the Tocantins River dammed by the Lajeado Hydroelectric Plant.
Ponte da Amizade
The impressive 8-kilometer long bridge connecting Palmas to the district of Luzimangues.
Agro-Industrial Hubs
Expansive views of the 'Matopiba' agricultural frontier with massive circular irrigation patterns.
Anápolis Air Base
A glimpse of Brazil's strategic military airfield and its interceptor jets during the final approach phase.
The right side is ideal for morning flights (sun is in the East/Left). During takeoff from PMW, look for the 'Ilha da Canela' in the middle of the lake. During the descent into GYN, this side often provides a better perspective of the approach path over the Goiânia metropolitan area.
Palmas Urban Grid
A clear view of the planned capital's unique symmetrical layout and the massive Praça dos Girassóis.
Serra do Lajeado
The dramatic cliffs and environmental protection area that border the city to the east.
Chapada dos Veadeiros
On clear days, the distant high plateaus of this ancient national park can be spotted on the eastern horizon.
Goiânia Skyline
The dense high-rise architecture of the Setor Bueno and Marista districts as the plane enters the terminal area.
Choose the left side for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the setting sun over the Tocantins River. Keep an eye out for the transition from the red earth of Tocantins to the more varied topography of northern Goiás.
