Further East 2025

Seaplane Asia Takes Flight at Further East 2025

From November 3–7, the annual luxury travel gathering Further East returned to Bali, an event known for blending high-level hospitality insights with a relaxed, bali-vibe atmosphere. More than a conference, Further East brings together global travel visionaries to explore emerging trends, future destinations, and the next evolution in immersive journeys. This year’s event hosted more than 300 companies, each showcasing unique takes on the future of luxury travel. 

Amid the lively energy and an impressive lineup of scheduled meetings, Seaplane Asia emerged as a standout presence. Over the course of three days, Group Chief Commercial Officer Michael J. “Mickey” Aumock navigated a packed schedule of high-energy business meetings, connecting with more than 40 partners and prospects from across the globe.

“No breaks… and it was fantastic!” Aumock remarked. 

The enthusiasm surrounding Seaplane Asia underscored a growing shift in the industry: travellers are increasingly seeking not just extraordinary destinations, but extraordinary ways to reach them.

Immersive Travel Takes Flight

In a world where the “how” matters as much as the “where,” seaplane travel has quickly become an alluring option for adventurous, comfort-seeking travellers. Seaplane Asia’s unique approach, pairing convenience, comfort, and access to remote or otherwise hard-to-reach areas, captured the imagination of industry professionals throughout the event.

Questions came quickly and in abundance:

  • How much does a trip cost?
    “It depends—we charge an hourly rate.”
  • How many planes do you have?
    “How many do you need?”
  • How far can you fly?
    “Our max range exceeds 4 hours.”
  • Where do you go?
    “Wherever you tell us to go!”

From family scenic tours over Phang Nga Bay to dream honeymoons, wedding proposals, and multi-stop itineraries across Southeast Asia, attendees were eager to explore how seaplane travel could elevate their guests’ journeys — whether it’s a romantic flight to Bali Gapura ‘The Gap’, a coastal hop through The Gilis, or a breathtaking approach over Komodo National Park. Mickey shared insights into routes, service models, and the broad spectrum of clients who benefit from the freedom of point-to-point air travel. 

Looking Ahead

Seaplane Asia’s strong presence at Further East reflects growing demand for bespoke, transformative travel experiences. For those curious to learn more, or ready to craft an unforgettable journey, Mickey and the team welcome the opportunity to bring your vision to life.

If there’s something you’d like to know, or if you’re dreaming of a destination best reached with wings over water, Seaplane Asia is ready to rise to the challenge.
