Passengers

We take passengers individual circumstances into consideration as part of the decision to fly or not. When you book your flight you will be asked to inform us of any disabilities and the approximate weight and age of passengers. We use weight for planning fuel consumption and take into consideration age and disabilities on whether we are able to fly.

Our balloons and other equipment are inspected in accordance with the TCAA requirements at either 100 hour intervals or annually.

We only fly state of the art, custom made balloons.

Thorough pre-flight inspections are conducted and the use of checklists designed, by us, for our balloons are used for every flight.
