Our fully qualified and certified pilots have an expert knowledge of local weather and prevailing breezes. Our ground crew participate in a comprehensive training program. Safety is our prime consideration and we will not fly if conditions are unsuitable. We have a 100 safety record and our commitment to your safety will not be compromised.

Ground Crew Our professional ground crew team are led by crew chief Alex. Our crew greet you upon arrival and see your balloon safely into the air, then return you behind the flight to the Wyatt for your champagne celebration. The ground crew team are there to assist so feel free to question them any questions (but be warned they love to talk about ballooning!). As a casual job, ground crewing is a hobby for many of the team and they all bring their own skills to the morning.
