Seaplane links Phuket to Phi Phi Island and Krabi to Koh Lanta

Destination Air, the country’s only seaplane shuttle service, will launch its first flight from Phuket Airport to various destinations on the Andaman coast as of February 01 2007.Its fleet of two Cessna seaplanes will fly 12 flights per day, leaving every two hours from Phuket to Phi Phi Island, Krabi and Ko Lanta.

The travel time to these destinations is: 13 minutes to Phi Phi, 20 minutes to Krabi and 30 minutes to Ko Lanta. The planes will land in the waterfront of major hotels and resorts.

More destinations such as the Similan islands, Ko Racha, and Khao Lak will be included in due course.

However, because of the size of its fleet, only light-weight baggage can be taken on board which means you will have to travel light and leave your main luggage in Phuket or Krabi. Be sure to check for more information at  http://www.destinationair.com/ before booking.
