Love in the clouds

Vietnam Airlines pilot couple Do Minh Duc (born in 1988) and Ngo Gia Han (born in 1998) have written a journey of love together, sharing their passion for the sky and flights.

The turning point, the fateful encounter of life

Before becoming a pilot, Minh Duc spent 7 years as a flight attendant at Vietnam Airlines, while Gia Han studied architecture. It was their love for the sky that made them both change direction.

Minh Duc and Gia Han first met at Bay Viet pilot training school, where they both began their journey to conquer the sky.

Duc decided to pursue his dream of mastering the cockpit, and Gia Han, with her passion for exploring the vast clouds, did not hesitate to give up her old path.

They first met at the Bay Viet pilot training school - where they both started their journey to conquer the sky. From the stressful study days, the pressure tests, to the times they overcame challenges together, they gradually became close companions.

When they went to the US for basic pilot training, their friendship grew closer through long training flights and times of piloting planes through harsh weather conditions.

At first, they only saw each other as colleagues and like-minded friends. But after returning to Vietnam and joining Vietnam Airlines, their feelings gradually blossomed.

Under the same sky, sharing the same passions and challenges, they realized that the other person was their perfect other half.

A year later, at the end of 2022, they officially became a family, opening a new journey, not only in the sky but also in life.

Understanding and sharing

As colleagues and life partners, Minh Duc and Gia Han have the opportunity to understand each other's work pressures.

As colleagues and life partners, they have the opportunity to understand each other’s work pressures. Being pilots, they easily share and sympathize with the difficulties of the job, from long, tiring flying days to tense moments in the cockpit.

"We can talk to each other about airplanes, the sky, and the airports we visit day after day and never get bored," Gia Han shared.

One of their best memories is their days as pilot students in the US.

At that time, they not only studied and trained together but also had the opportunity to accompany each other on cross-state flights, personally piloting the plane through the clouds, and seeing the vast America from above. It was not only a professional challenge but also a moment filled with emotions.

Taking off together, conquering the vast sky together, they not only improve their skills but also understand and accompany each other in every moment.

Every airport they set foot in is not only a new destination but also a milestone in the brilliant love journey of two ambitious young people.

Always keep the fire of love burning

The couple still stay connected in different ways when they don't have much time together due to the nature of their work.

The busy flight schedule sometimes makes them not have much time together. However, this couple has their own way to keep the love alive. Normally, pilots who fly for 1.5 months will have 1 week off and both will arrange time to have a vacation together, taking advantage of that time to travel .

They have traveled together from Da Lat, Hue, Saigon to Japan, Korea, Thailand... Both have the same taste in food, so on every trip, the first destination is always delicious local restaurants.

Long flights apart have not diminished their love. Facetime, texting and special gifts from their destinations are the little things that help them maintain their connection.

Working in the aviation industry, they also have very "aviation" ways of expressing affection. That was the time Minh Duc sent the wish "Good flight" on the information board in the cockpit, along with a heart next to it when he knew Gia Han was the one in control of the flight right after. His small actions made her surprised and happy throughout the flight.

Ngo Gia Han commented on her husband as a neat, caring and always listening person. As for Minh Duc, Gia Han is a gentle, emotional girl who knows how to take care of her family. Those are the things that make their love stronger and stronger.

Sharing about their plans for the future, Gia Han wishes to stick with the A321 fleet, while Minh Duc is challenged with the new Boeing B787 aircraft. But even though they fly on different aircraft, they still have the same goal: to devote themselves to Vietnam Airlines and together build a solid home.

Their love is proof that no matter the height, no matter the challenges, as long as there is understanding, trust and companionship, love can still shine above the clouds.
