CT Ballooning NEWS

Fall 2009

First and foremost we’d like to say THANK YOU to our clients this year.  The past few months have proved to be quite challenging with the weather but we’re hopeful things are finally settling down. 

We are booking Fall Foliage hot air balloon rides!!!   The State of Connecticut DEP is expecting peak colors between Oct 9 and Nov 9.  Dates are filling fast so don’t wait – contact us today to schedule your flight.

We recently wrapped up our 2009 festival schedule and it was another great year.  It’s always fun to fly in different areas but it’s the people we get to meet during our travels that make it so much fun.  2010 will feature a new look to our festival travels so keep your eyes open.

Winter/Spring 2009

Warmer weather is starting to show itself and CT Ballooning, LLC is ready for another exciting season of flying.  It’s been a busy winter for us with ongoing equipment maintenance, safety seminars, and the occasional flight.  One HUGE development recently in the entire hot air balloon industry involves insurance coverage.  CT Ballooning, LLC was blindsided by a 24% increase in our premiums and while we understand finances are tight for everyone, we unfortunately had to pass along this increase to our clients.    

CT Ballooning, LLC will be participating in 12 balloon festivals across the United States, Canada, and Mexico during 2009.  Hot air balloon rides are available at these events - possibly at discounted rates.  Don’t get paired with just any balloon, contact CT Ballooning, LLC to schedule your ride at any of these great festivals.  Click here for our 2009 festival schedule

****Plainville Hot Air Balloon Festival****
This annual balloon rally is held at the end of August in Plainville CT to benefit the Plainville Fire Department.  A favorite amongst the team at CT Ballooning, we will be flying at least 3 balloons that weekend and discounted hot air balloon rides will be available for that weekend.  Call Today to schedule your hot air balloon adventure at the Plainville Hot Air Balloon Festival with CT Ballooning.

Nov/Dec 2008

It was a tough fall season for us with many weekend flights being cancelled due to wind and/or rain.  Mother Nature was however nice enough to give us some very nice weekday flights so all was not lost.  Look for us in the skies as we fly throughout the winter months.

We have implemented a more client friendly deposit/cancellation policy.  Please visit our “Rates & Details” page to view this.
