Private Jet Portofino to Ninh Thuan

The Portofino to Ninh Thuan sector covers approximately 5,327 nautical miles, comfortably within range of a Gulfstream G550, though many charters opt for a Gulfstream G650ER or Bombardier Global 6000 given the added cabin comfort over a journey of this length, cruising near 43,000 feet for the majority of the crossing. Departure is from Genoa Cristoforo Colombo Airport, a short transfer from Portofino’s harbour and pastel-coloured waterfront. The route ends at Phan Rang – Thap Cham Airport, gateway to Ninh Thuan province, a stretch of Vietnam’s coast that trades the Ligurian Sea’s rugged cliffs for sand dunes, cacti and dry scrubland, a landscape distinct from almost anywhere else in the country. Phan Rang city is dominated by the ancient Cham towers of Po Klong Garai, an active site of worship for the local Cham community and one of the best preserved relics of the Champa civilisation. The province’s arid conditions have given rise to a small vineyard industry and extensive dragon fruit farming, both unusual pursuits for Vietnam, alongside a modest sheep and goat husbandry tradition that thrives on the dry scrubland unlike anywhere else in the country. Along the shore, Ninh Chu Beach offers straightforward access to the sea, while Vinh Hy Bay further north, known for its clear water and steep cliffs, is often ranked among the country’s most scenic coastal spots. Consistent winds have also made parts of the shoreline a growing destination for windsurfing. Travellers leaving the Italian Riviera for a genuinely uncommon Southeast Asian arrival point will find this route well suited, exchanging one striking coastal landscape for another built on entirely different terms.
