The Balloon FlightCAA CertifiedA commercial passenger flight in a Hot Air Balloon is viewed by the Civil Aviation Authority as no different with regard regulations, safety, insurance and licensing than those required by the airline flying you on your holidays. Aerosaurus Balloons are licensed and regulated by the Civil Aviation Authority under Air Operators certificate number BL209, and all of our pilots hold full commercial pilots licence.
Aerosaurus Balloons operate within the Terms and Conditions as laid down by the Office of Fair Trading regarding Public Transport with the Hot Air Balloon Industry, approval number: CA/WCT/C/FH/118/96. Owing to Hot Air Ballooning being very weather dependent we try to counteract this problem by providing maximum flexibility for our passengers. Aerosaurus provide a full time, 7 days a week service, have several hot air balloons varying in size from 2 passengers upwards and have balloon flights daily from launch sites in Cornwall, Devon, Somerset, Dorset or Wiltshire.
In addition we are members of Balloons Over Britain which is a consortium of the UK's top 11 Public Transport Hot Air Balloon Companies and we therefore are able to provide, in addition to our own 12 main flying areas, the option to take your balloon flight from a further 70+ Balloons Over Britain launch sites throughout the UK with our flight tickets being common and interchangeable between all of these sites. | Page One | Page Two | |
