| World Balloons World
Balloon operates the largest and most modern fleet of
commercial hot air balloons in Albuquerque, and our balloon
systems are meticulously maintained by our own F. A. A
certified repair facility (RD1R-448K). Capable of flying up
to 60 passengers on any morning, World Balloon is always
available for passenger rides for any size group.
It is a world filled with beauty,
excitement and adventure. Ballooning is strictly a fair
weather sport. Flights are conducted during the early
morning hours (sometimes early evening hours) when winds are
light and the air is stable. A launch is generally not
feasible when the wind exceeds 12 mph, and as balloons move
at the speed of the wind, landings above that may become a
bit too exciting with an added risk of an injury. Weather
determination can usually be made early, but if not, your
pilot will make a final judgment as to conditions at the
launch site.
Dress comfortably. Shorts and
dresses are not recommended and high heels are prohibited.
It is not colder in the balloon (actually warmer), but
layered dress is in order as temperatures normally increase
throughout the flight.
