Adventure Balloons company history
Published by admin on May 29th, 2008 in Hot Air Balloon Flights, Adventure Balloons
With over 20 years experience in passenger balloon flights, Adventure Balloons is now one of the biggest companies offering hot air balloon rides in the UK. The company was founded in April 1985, when there were few companies offering balloon rides in the UK.
Demand quickly grew and by 1988 they purchased a four passenger balloon, followed by several others. Adventure Balloons now operate seven hot air balloons, which can hold between four and sixteen passengers.
The sixteen passenger balloon, which was purchased from two millionaires who used it for travelling across the North Sea, was the first hot air balloon of this size to be allowed to fly in the UK by the Civil Aviation Authority.
As demand for their balloon rides grew, Adventure Balloons joined forces with renowned balloon maker Lindstrand and developed new ways to improve both passenger and pilot safety.
As Adventure Balloons flights have increased, so have the number of launch sites and they now offer flights from several locations situated in the Home Countries including; Kent, Berkshire, Surrey and Oxford and are also one of only a couple of companies that offer flights over London.
