Virgin

We are the proud operators of the Virgin Balloon Flights passenger carrying balloon in the South West. We fly from Bath, Bristol, South Wales, Cheltenham, Cirencester, Glastonbury & Marlborough. The balloon carries 16 people + pilot and lifts a wieght of over 2 tons on take-off! If you would like to fly with us just click on the Virgin logo below.

We also took our balloon to Morroco in 1996 & again in 1997 as part of Richard Branson's attempt to be the first balloonist to fly round the world non-stop.
