Is age a consideration?
We are happy to carry passengers of all ages, but most of our passengers are aged 10 to 80.

What kind of equipment do you use?
All our balloon equipment is to the highest standard and is manufactured in Spain and in England. We have sturdy four-wheel drive Mercedes ground support vehicles for retrieval of the equipment from the fields.

How did you discover Cappadocia?
We were working for many years with Buddy Bombards' famous ballooning adventures in France and Europe, and he came here with his first group in 1990. Lars was the pilot sent out to investigate the area, and to run the first trip and he simply never wanted to leave!!

Why are balloon flights so expensive?
For several reasons:
* Commercial Hot Air Balloons are imported. Because of the nature of the materials used in the construction of balloons, they have a limited useful life before requiring major refurbishing or complete replacement.
* Hot Air Balloons use propane as fuel. The cost of propane is linked to the fuel price.
* Being a legal operator is expensive - we carry insurance, use approved and certified aircraft, use the services of approved maintenance officers and conform to all Civil Aviation requirements, including the payment of various licensing fees.

Who shouldn't fly?
* People who have recently undergone surgery
* Those with severe hip or back problems
* Pregnant women (during first 3 months)
* Frail or elderly people who cannot support themselves for landing
* Small children (under 6) should not fly in a balloon
* If you are unsure, check with your doctor
