Halong Bay flights say goodbye.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\u201cTravellers booked the flights for a memorable excursion that offered panoramic views of limestone karsts rising from the bay\u2019s emerald waters,\u201d the ICS newsletter stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
ICS Travel Group noted that \u201cthe pause mainly comes from operational adjustments and updated regulations for aviation activities within this protected heritage area, as authorities review how tourism can continue to grow while protecting the natural landscape that makes the bay so special.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
On its Facebook page, Hai Au Aviation officially confirmed that the scenic flights had halted on 1 April \u2014 \u201cWe are truly honoured to have been part of so many unforgettable moments in the sky.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAs every remarkable journey eventually turns a new page, Hai Au Aviation would like to officially announce that our seaplane services will cease operations starting 1 April 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe extend our heartfelt gratitude to all our valued customers and partners who have trusted and supported us throughout the years,\u201d Hai Au Aviation concluded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
