Hot air balloons are a highly secure mode of flight in the aviation industry and have continuously become safer over time. The primary factor affecting safety is weather, with high winds and adverse conditions posing a significant hazard. Our pilots are well-trained and experienced, with many flying hours under their belt, and only fly when conditions are safe. We strictly adhere to the Safety and Quality standards established by the UAE General Civil Aviation Authority. With our competent pilots, you can have peace of mind knowing that you are always safe during the flight. Additionally, our equipment undergoes regular maintenance checks to maintain high-quality services.
Prior to each hot air balloon flight, the pilot leads a safety briefing for all passengers, covering the proper method for getting in and out of the basket, landing position, and other important guidelines. The pilots monitor weather conditions before a day of the scheduled departure to ensure passenger safety. Our trained ground crew assists both passengers and pilots with implementing safety procedures, from setting up the balloon to takeoff, flight, and landing. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we have increased our health and safety measures, such as reducing the number of passengers per balloon and installing transparent screen protector shields in the basket.
