Love in the Clouds

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

A turning point, a fateful encounter in life.

Before becoming a pilot, Minh Duc spent seven years as a flight attendant at Vietnam Airlines, while Gia Han studied architecture. It was their shared love of the sky that led them both to change career paths.

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

Duc decided to pursue his dream of becoming a pilot, while Gia Han, with her passion for exploring the vast expanse of clouds, also didn't hesitate to abandon her old path.

They first met at the Bay Viet pilot training school – where they both began their journey to conquer the skies. From intense training days and stressful tests to overcoming challenges together, they gradually became close companions.

When they went to the US for basic pilot training, their friendship grew even stronger through long training flights and navigating through harsh weather conditions.

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

Sharing the same sky, the same passions and challenges, they realized that the other person was their perfect match.

A year later, at the end of 2022, they officially tied the knot, embarking on a new journey, not only in the skies 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 themselves, they easily share and empathize with the difficulties of the job, from long, tiring flights to stressful moments in the cockpit.

"We can talk about airplanes, the sky, and the airports we've visited day after day, month after month, without ever getting bored," Gia Han shared.

One of their fondest memories is their time as pilot trainees in the United States.

At that time, they not only diligently studied and trained together but also had the opportunity to accompany each other on cross-state flights, personally piloting the aircraft through the clouds and gazing at the vast United States from above. It was not just a professional challenge but also a series of emotionally charged moments.

Taking flight together, conquering the vast skies together, they not only improve their skills but also understand and support each other every moment.

Each airport they visited was not just a new place, but also a milestone in the vibrant love journey of these two ambitious young people.

Always keep the flame of love burning

The couple always maintain their bond in different ways when they don't have much time together due to the nature of their work.

Their demanding flight schedules sometimes leave them with little time together. However, this couple has their own way of keeping the romance alive. Typically, pilots who fly for 1.5 months get a week off, and they arrange to spend that time together, using it to travel .

They've traveled together from Da Lat, Hue, Saigon to Japan, South Korea, Thailand… Both share a love for food, so on each trip, their first destination is always a delicious local restaurant.

Long flights apart didn't diminish their love. Facetime calls, text messages, and unique gifts from their destinations were small things that helped them stay connected.

Working in the aviation industry, they also have their own very "aviation-related" ways of expressing affection. For example, Minh Duc would send a "Good flight" message on the cockpit information board, accompanied by a heart emoji, when he learned that Gia Han would be piloting the flight. These small gestures surprised and delighted her throughout the flight.

Ngo Gia Han describes her husband as a meticulous, caring, and attentive person. As for Minh Duc, Gia Han is a gentle, affectionate woman who knows how to take care of her family. These qualities have made their relationship even stronger.

Sharing their future plans, Gia Han hopes to continue flying the A321, while Minh Duc is eager to try the new Boeing B787. But despite flying different types of aircraft, they share a common goal: to dedicate themselves fully to Vietnam Airlines and build a strong family together.

Their love is proof that, no matter the height or the challenges they face, with understanding, trust, and companionship, love can still shine brightly even in the clouds.
