Keeping You Safe Up, Up and Away

Safety Is Our #1 Priority

When traveling, you should not have to worry about whether your recreational activities are safe or not. Fortunately, hot air ballooning is one of the safest forms of flight known to man. Each Hot Air Expeditions pilot has thousands of hours of hot air balloon flying experience, as well as a Federal Aviation Administration Certified Pilot’s License. Our hot air balloons are of the highest quality and are inspected regularly by a Federal Aviation Administration approved facility to ensure they remain in perfect working order.

Your safety is always our number one priority, and Hot Air Expeditions is committed to only flying in safe conditions and balloons. We will not launch a balloon when it is too windy, or in unstable weather conditions. Prior to every flight, the balloon, envelope, rigging and gondola are inspected to ensure safety standards are met. On the occasion of poor weather, your flight will be rescheduled at your convenience.

Not only is ballooning safe, hot air balloons are environmentally clean, propane powered aircrafts. The propane used to provide the balloon’s lift is completely burned with no residual fumes or exhaust. Hot Air Expeditions is committed to taking care of the pristine Sonoran Desert we love, and use for balloon take-offs and landings.

In addition to your safety, your health and wellbeing is also top of mind during your time with us as well. We feel very lucky to operate our hot air balloon tours out in the beautiful wide-open Sonoran Desert, and for this reason face masks are not required for staff members or passengers during your time with us. Please be aware that due to the size of hot air balloon baskets, as well as weight and balance limitations, it is not possible to socially distance in a hot air balloon. We do sanitize all vehicles, balloons and shared surfaces after each and every flight, have disinfecting items + sanitizer readily available, and also offer private hot air balloon rides for those looking for a more intimate hot air ballooning experience. If you, or any of our staff members, are not feeling well we urge anyone feeling under the weather to please stay home, and advise us as soon as possible of this occurrence. Otherwise, we encourage you to sit back, relax and enjoy the ride!
