Every day, the officer not only inspects the local weather conditions from various national and international sources but also tours the region very early in the morning for technical and physical observations before granting the permission for the day’s flight. All the information is posted on the official website for the balloon companies to view.

If the weather conditions are not suitable for a hot air balloon flight, all the flights are cancelled for the day by the same authority.

We, at Voyager Balloons, have always taken the safety issues as a priority and operated our flights accordingly to provide an excellent flight experience for our passengers from all around the world.

We are proud to have a collection of 2013, 2015 and 2016 make balloons manufactured by UltraMagic, a Spain based world famous balloon manufacturer. We are also delighted that our 2016 make balloons are to be delivered shortly.

We have a very good team of experienced pilots, three of whom are pilot instructors. Our pilots go through a health and flight inspection to renew their licenses every other year.

We pay special attention to the periodic technical controls and the renewal of the equipment, which are also checked and approved by the DGCA.

Every morning before dawn, our pilots have a meeting to go over all the data from the sources and decide on and then check the take-off site to provide the best and the safest flight possible.

Before the flight, the pilot gives a safety briefing to his/her passengers, pointing out the safety ropes in the basket and demonstrating the landing position. At the end, passengers are asked to take landing position to confirm that every passenger has acknowledged it.

Close to the landing, the pilot reminds the passengers of the safety measures and tells them when to take the landing position.

At the landing point, each balloon is met by its land crew that has been in contact with the pilot and following the balloon on the ground.

The day before your flight, we will send you an email about your pick up time in the morning from your hotel. We will also inform your hotel in Cappadocia about the pick up time. Sometimes the hotel receptions forget to inform you, so please check your email. You can also contact us by calling +90 532 3471514

For your comfort and enjoyment we recommend you wear casual, comfortable clothing. Solid, flat footwear is essential (no high heels or sandals, please). It’s no colder in the air than on the ground but you will be outdoors for 3-4 hours, so dress for the temperature of the day. Bringing a light sweater or jacket might make you more comfortable if it is cool first thing in the morning.

Do:

Layers: So you can add or remove sweaters or jackets as you see fit.
Long pants and sleeves: To protect you against the dreaded mosquitoes.
Boots or sneakers: Hiking or rubber boots to travel on wet grass.
Bring a hat: If you’re sensitive to the heat, please bring a hat.

Don’t:

Heels or sandals: Avoid them to keep your ankles safe during a bumpy landing or on uneven and muddy terrain.
Uncomfortable clothes: To climb in and out of the basket comfortably.

In order to fly, passengers must be in good physical condition due to the possibility of a rough landing. All passengers must be able to climb in and out of the basket, stand for the entire flight and walk out of a field if necessary. Due to insurance restrictions, we cannot fly any passenger who has recently had:

• Surgery
• Injuries
• Hip, Back, or Knee Problems
• Health Concerns
• Physical Limitations
• Severe Auditory Restrictions
• Is/Or May be Pregnant

Your safety is our main concern. If you are concerned with health or safety issues, please consult with your physician or call our office to discuss the individual situation.
