Virgin Balloon Flights History

Headquartered in Telford, Shropshire, Virgin Balloon Flights was established by Richard Branson in 1994, some years after he had organised the first crossing of the Pacific in a hot air balloon. Branson's long-lasting involvement with hot air balloon flying is well documented, dating all the way back to the 1980s when he had the 'Virgin Atlantic Flyer' built by Per Lindstrand. The Virgin Atlantic Flyer was at the time the largest hot air balloon in history, with a total volume of 2.3 million cubic feet. At age 36 Branson, together with Lindstrand, became the first man ever to cross the Atlantic in a hot air balloon when the Virgin Atlantic Flyer completed the 3,000-plus miles crossing in less than 32 hours, travelling from Sugarloaf Mountain in Maine to Limavady in Northern Ireland.

Next up was the Pacific Ocean, an even tougher challenge which the pair tackled in 1991. Lindstrand was again in charge of building the ship, this time called the 'Virgin Pacific Flyer'. This had a total volume of 2.6 million cubic feet, a metal outer layer and a basket that looked more like a spaceship capsule. Branson and Lindstrand embarked on their journey across the Pacific on January 16, lifting off from Japan's southern tip in the small hours of the morning. Almost immediately they hit major trouble, as they mistakenly discarded one third of the fuel they had onboard. Too light and poorly balanced the Pacific Flyer soared way too high, hitting the jet stream and travelling practically out of control at unbelievable speed. But the balloon resisted, and Branson and Lindstrand safely descended onto the Canadian Northwest Territories 48 hours after leaving Japan, on the day war was declared on Iraq!

Having narrowly escaped with his life from the previous adventure, Branson prepared to attempt to round the globe in a hot air balloon! That is the context within which Virgin Balloon Flights was created in 1994, in the wake of the huge publicity derived by Virgin's record-breaking journeys. In 1999 the Breitling Orbiter, not a Virgin balloon, became the first hot-air balloon to travel round the world. Just over two years later, Branson sold Virgin Balloon Flights to his highly experienced pilot Ken Karlstrom, who has continued championing advances in ballooning technology and breaking into new territories, such as the Italian operation.
