Safety First: Ballooning standards
are very rigorous…
The ballooning companies in Cappadocia take
safety very seriously. From pilot licensing to fleet maintenance to
aeronautical expertise, the ballooning industry in Cappadocia is now more
sufficiently regulated than ever. Ballooning does involve an element of risk,
just like all forms of air transportation. There are a number of points to
consider when deciding upon your balloon flight and what company to choose.
Firstly, that the industry as a whole is working to reduce the dangers. For
example, the decision as to when climatic conditions are optimal for safe
flight is now decided by a central agency rather than by individual companies.
Secondly, that all of those involved in Cappadocia’s ballooning industry- from
booking agents to flight captains- are exceptionally experienced. Thirdly, hot
air ballooning remains one of the safest forms of flying known to man, wıth the
majority of in-flight problems still allowing for captains to make safe
landings.
