The Great Tethered Balloon<\/u><\/strong><\/h1>\n

The Flight Experience<\/strong><\/h2>\n

– What is an Aerophile tethered balloon?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The AERO30 NG, great tethered balloon by Aerophile, is a giant helium-filled aerostat, tethered to the ground by a winch-operated cable and fitted with a gondola that can carry up to 30 passengers. It rises to a height of up to 150 metres (sometimes up to 300 metres depending on the site), offering an absolutely spectacular 360\u00b0 panoramic view, with no noise, no jolts, and complete safety.<\/p>\n

Aerophile is the undisputed world leader: since 1993, more than 120 balloons have been installed in 40 countries, and more than a million passengers fly on board every year.<\/p>\n

– How high can you go with passengers?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The balloon can reach a height of around 150 metres (492 ft). Passengers enjoy a unique vantage point over the landscape, with visibility that can extend several dozen kilometres depending on conditions. For scientific purposes, the balloon can rise to an altitude of up to 300 meters.<\/p>\n

– How long does a flight last?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Usually a flight lasts an average of around ten minutes, including the ascent, a period of observation at altitude, and the descent. Once at 150 m of altitude, you have several minutes to enjoy the 360\u00b0 panorama. This format ensures a smooth turnover of passengers while still offering a complete experience.<\/p>\n

– How much does a captive balloon flight cost?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The price varies depending on the site and the country, but is generally between \u20ac20 and \u20ac50. The captive balloon therefore offers a genuine aerial experience at an affordable price, with no booking required, and flights running throughout the day.<\/p>\n

– What is the difference with a hot air balloon?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The difference is fundamental in several respects:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • The lifting gas: a hot air balloon uses air heated by a flame, usually propane. Aerophile’s tethered balloon is filled with helium, a non-flammable gas that is naturally lighter than air. No combustion, no flame: the ascent is silent and odourless.<\/li>\n
  • A hot air balloon generally makes free flights carried by the wind. The tethered balloon, on the other hand, is connected to the ground by a winch-operated cable: it takes off and lands at the same spot, with no horizontal movement.<\/li>\n
  • The tethered balloon experience is far more accessible, both in terms of logistics and price, with a ticket generally costing between 20 and 50 euros for around ten minutes of flight, compared with several hundred euros for free hot-air-balloon flights.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Safety & Technology<\/strong><\/h2>\n

    – Is Aerophile’s great tethered balloon safe? Who certifies it?<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Safety is at the heart of the system. Aerophile’s great tethered Balloon is certified by the European Civil Aviation authorities as an aircraft, on the same basis as an airliner. It is subject to the same certification, maintenance and operating requirements as any aircraft.<\/p>\n

    The balloon meets demanding standards and incorporates redundant safety systems. All operations are governed by rigorous procedures, guaranteeing a level of reliability that meets aeronautical standards. The pilots are trained and licensed in accordance with current aeronautical regulations.<\/p>\n

    As proof of their reliability, Aerophile’s tethered balloons have been installed in Paris, in the Parc Andr\u00e9 Citro\u00ebn, since 1999 (the Ballon Generali de Paris), at Disneyland Paris since 2005, and at Disney World in Orlando, USA, since 2009.<\/p>\n

    Aerophile holds 8 patents related to its innovations, which are 100% French-designed. Aerophile flies more than half a million passengers a year across its subsidiaries.<\/p>\n

    – Isn’t helium dangerous? Can it catch fire?<\/strong><\/p>\n

    No. Helium is an inert noble gas: it does not burn, does not ignite and does not react with any other chemical element. It is used in medicine, the space industry and scientific equipment precisely for this reason. There is therefore no risk of combustion or explosion linked to the lifting gas.<\/p>\n

    – Does the balloon fly in all weather conditions?<\/strong><\/p>\n

    The Aero30NG great tethered balloon can fly perfectly well in rain or snow. These types of precipitation are not an obstacle to operations.<\/p>\n

    On the other hand, it is sensitive to certain weather conditions, particularly wind. Beyond a certain threshold, flights are temporarily suspended as a safety measure. These decisions are made in real time by the pilot team based on local weather conditions.<\/p>\n

    Practical tip<\/em>\u00a0:\u00a0<\/strong>before setting off, always check the balloon’s operating status directly on the website or official channels of the site concerned. Some sites offer a real-time indicator.<\/p>\n

    – Is the balloon deflated in the evening? How is it kept inflated?<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Once inflated with helium, the balloon stays in place permanently: it is not deflated between flights or at the end of the day. At night, it is simply brought back down to the ground and secured.<\/p>\n

    The envelope is designed to minimise losses: helium leakage is less than 70 m\u00b3 per month, a very low figure for a total volume of 6,200 m\u00b3. Regular top-ups keep the pressure at its nominal level. This is what keeps the tethered balloon operational all year round.<\/p>\n

    Accessibility & Public<\/strong><\/h2>\n

    – How many people can board at the same time?<\/strong><\/p>\n

    The gondola can carry up to 30 passengers per flight. Its 13 m\u00b2 ring-shaped surface allows everyone to move around freely and enjoy the view from every angle.<\/p>\n

    This also makes it an excellent option for groups, corporate events or private celebrations: some sites offer gondola privatisation for exclusive moments at altitude, such as marriage proposals, for example.<\/p>\n

    – Do you need to book your flight in advance?<\/strong><\/p>\n

    No, that is not necessary. Aerophile’s balloons can generally fly throughout the day, with rotations roughly every quarter of an hour. That said, we recommend checking the relevant website to confirm the balloon is flying before travelling to the site, as flights may be temporarily suspended depending on weather conditions, particularly when there is too much wind at altitude or a risk of storms.<\/p>\n

    – Is the flight accessible to children and people with reduced mobility?<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Absolutely. Aerophile’s tethered Balloon is one of the few aerial attractions accessible to wheelchair users. Boarding requires no stairs or particular effort.<\/p>\n

    Children love the experience: the absence of noise, the gentle sensation of flight and the incredible view make it an ideal attraction for families. There is no age restriction, but each site may have its own rules, so check with the site concerned before your visit.<\/p>\n

    – I’m afraid of heights: can I still take this flight?<\/strong><\/p>\n

    This is a question many people ask, and the answer is often a pleasant surprise. The ascent is perfectly smooth and steady. The gondola is spacious (13 m\u00b2) and surrounded by a solid railing and a safety net. There is no sensation of falling, no violent swaying and no stressful noise.<\/p>\n

    Many people who were afraid of heights say they experienced the flight without the slightest difficulty, and even with a sense of wonder. If you have any doubts, don’t hesitate to speak to the ground crew before boarding.<\/p>\n

    Communication & Visibility<\/strong><\/h2>\n

    – Can the balloon be used as an advertising or communication medium?<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Yes, it is one of the most powerful outdoor communication media there is. With a diameter of 22.5 metres, the balloon’s envelope forms a giant display surface, visible for miles around:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • Visible day and night: the balloon can be lit up from the inside for maximum impact after sunset.<\/li>\n
    • Constantly in motion, which naturally attracts attention far more than a static billboard.<\/li>\n
    • Fully customisable: logo, brand colours, messages – the envelope becomes your billboard in the sky.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Heritage and tourist sites, theme parks, cities and cruise lines already trust Aerophile for this unique kind of visibility.<\/p>\n

      – Why install a tethered balloon at a tourist site?<\/strong><\/p>\n

      The balloon acts as a genuine visual signal and a driver of attractiveness. Visible from several kilometres away, it naturally draws attention and arouses curiosity. At many sites, its installation has led to a significant increase in footfall, of up to 25%. The balloon becomes both a major attraction and an iconic feature of the landscape, offering a unique way to discover it.<\/p>\n

      Ecology & Innovation<\/strong><\/h2>\n

      – Is Aerophile’s Great Tethered Balloon environmentally friendly?<\/strong><\/p>\n

      The tethered balloon is a particularly environmentally virtuous attraction. Helium allows it to rise naturally with no combustion or direct emissions, held by the electric winch. The descent is also handled by the electric winch, whose power consumption is comparable to that of a simple building lift.<\/p>\n

      No CO\u2082 emissions, no noise pollution, no fossil fuel. Some balloons can even measure air quality at altitude, becoming genuine environmental monitoring tools.<\/p>\n

      The balloon is silent and blends harmoniously into any environment, whether urban or natural. It can therefore be described as an eco-friendly attraction.<\/p>\n

      – Can the balloon measure air quality in real time?<\/strong><\/p>\n

      Yes. Aerophile has developed a unique innovation: the ability to fit the gondola with air-quality sensors that analyse the main atmospheric pollutants in real time from 0 to 300 m of altitude. This data, which cannot be collected as precisely from the ground, helps cities and researchers better understand urban pollution across the different layers of the atmosphere. Because the balloon produces no polluting emissions, it can reliably and continuously measure fine particles, ozone or pollen.<\/p>\n

      Aerophile, the global leader in large tethered balloons<\/strong><\/h2>\n

      – Why is Aerophile considered the global leader in huge tethered balloons designed for passenger transport?<\/strong><\/p>\n

      Aerophile is the company that pioneered the concept of the modern large helium-filled tethered balloon. Drawing inspiration from the large tethered balloons of 19th-century Paris, Aerophile installed the first large tethered balloon of the modern era in 1993 in the grounds of the Ch\u00e2teau de Chantilly.<\/p>\n

      Since 1993, Aerophile has installed more than 120 balloons in 40 countries, at prestigious locations such as major capitals (Paris, Berlin, Budapest, Seoul, Dubai\u2026), amusement parks (Disneyland Paris, Disney World Orlando, Futuroscope, Parc Ast\u00e9rix, etc.) and international tourist destinations (Las Vegas, Niagara Falls, the temples of Angkor Wat, the Bahamas, Seville, etc.).<\/p>\n

      The company also designed and operated the balloon carrying the Olympic Cauldron in Paris in 2024.<\/p>\n

      This combination of experience, prestigious references and technological expertise makes it the market’s benchmark player.<\/p>\n

      – Did Aerophile design the Olympic Cauldron for the 2024 Paris Olympics?<\/strong><\/p>\n

      Yes, and it is a great source of pride. Following an idea from its designer, Matthieu Lehanneur, Aerophile designed, built and operated the tethered Balloon for the Olympic Cauldron in 2024. This spectacular, glowing balloon rose into the Paris sky every evening, carrying the symbolic flame of the Games (a 100% electric flame developed by EDF), visible from across the city.<\/p>\n

      The Olympic Cauldron Balloon proved so popular with the public that the French State, in agreement with the City of Paris and the Louvre, decided to reinstall it in the Tuileries Gardens every summer from 2025 to 2027.<\/p>\n

        The Aerobar<\/u><\/strong><\/h1>\n

        – What is the Aerobar?<\/strong><\/p>\n

        The Aerobar, another signature innovation from Aerophile, is a \u201cflying bar\u201d. A gondola holding 16 passengers, seated on secure seats arranged in a circle around a central bar, rises to an altitude of 35 metres to offer a spectacular panoramic view. At the centre, the \u201cAerobarman\u201d serves drinks and snacks for an experience combining thrills and conviviality.<\/p>\n

        Imagine sipping a cocktail, your feet dangling in mid-air, 35 metres above a city, a beach or a theme park: that is exactly what the Aerobar offers.<\/p>\n

        Designed for tourist sites, resorts and theme parks, the Aerobar is both an attraction and a bar. Aerophile has already deployed more than 20 Aerobars around the world, notably in Las Vegas or Singapore, as well as in French theme parks such as Futuroscope and Parc Ast\u00e9rix.<\/p>\n

        – How long does the Aerobar experience last?<\/strong><\/p>\n

        About 10-12 minutes per cycle (a 2-minute ascent). Ideal for a friendly break up in the air!<\/p>\n

        – How does the Aerobar differ from the tethered balloon?<\/strong><\/p>\n

        The Aerobar is an attraction centred on sensation and conviviality, whereas the balloon focuses on height and contemplation. Both allow you to admire the panorama from the sky, at 35 m of altitude for the Aerobar and 150 m for the balloon. Both are tourist attractions visible for miles around, and can be customised in a brand’s colours.<\/p>\n

        The Aerobar is aimed more specifically at sites looking to enrich their offering with a fun, event-driven dimension built around food and drink. It is also perfectly suited to windy sites, unlike the tethered balloon.<\/p>\n

        – Is the Aerobar subject to the same safety certifications as the balloon?<\/strong><\/p>\n

        The Aerobar is not an aircraft and is subject to the amusement-ride regulations in force in each country where it operates. The company supports each client from the very first stages of the project: feasibility study, regulatory procedures, custom design and training of operating teams.<\/p>\n

        It is a turnkey solution, designed for the most demanding operators who want to offer their customers an absolutely unique experience.<\/p>\n
