Nok Mini is an eco-friendly airline. The use of e-ticketing is strongly recommended for all travel references. No paper tickets are issued to save paper and prevent trees from being cut down unnecessarily. A booking number is sufficient to retrieve a booked journey. These practices help preserve the environment and reduce global warming.
Flights are planned at relatively low altitudes so that pilots can spot and report forest fires, floods, etc. The aircraft is propelled by a low-noise Pratt & Whitney engine, emitting 90 dB of noise pollution, a noise level comparable to a bus.

The state of the art avionics insure the safest possible operation in any weather condition. The simple but rugged overall design has conventionally operated controls. There is no need for a hydraulic system because of its fixed gear. Additional redundant systems allow for controllability even in the event of a system failure. All these features allow the aircraft to boast a dispatch reliability rate consistently in excess of 99.8 percent.
Grand Caravan gives you more comfort and value than any other propjet aircrafts manufactured today. Baggage space, an external 111 cubic foot cargo partitioned to prevent shifting, is enormous with ample room for nearly 600kg of luggage and supplies. Combine these figures with short take off and landing capabilities, Caravan is the best utility aircraft today.
With a high wing design concept, Cessna Grand Caravan is one of the best aircraft for aerial sightseeing. Passengers will witness panoramic views of the routes from altitudes of 3000 to 10000 feet through personal big side windows.
The pilots usually provide passengers with flight narration describing the beautiful places along the route. Passenger safety is always a priority; therefore, safety belts must be fastened during flights. Pilots or ground staff will inform all passengers when to board or disembark from the aircraft.
The aircraft contains 12 passenger seats plus two pilots at the controls at all times. There is no cabin crew or assigned seating aboard these short flights. The seat configuration consists of 4 rows of 3 seats, each with sufficient space for relaxation, but a window seat is always best for admiring the scenery. All checked luggage is stored underneath in four spacious cargo pods.
