Virgin has been synonymous with hot air ballooning since entrepreneur and adventurer Sir Richard Branson became the first to fly a balloon across the Atlantic in 1987.
Around one million people have taken life higher on our unforgettable hot air balloon rides since our big red balloons first took to the skies in 1994.
With more than 100 launch sites across England, Scotland and Wales, Virgin Balloon Flights is the only national passenger balloon rides company in the UK, meaning a hot air balloon ride adventure is never far away.
As the largest passenger carrying ballooning company in the world, every year Virgin Balloon Flights whisks more than 25,000 passengers away on an airborne adventure they will never forget.
We have a wide range of corporate services, helping businesses reward employees with spectacular, sky-high experiences.
