Ian Bridge Ballooning

Ian Bridge - Ballooning in Shropshire for 17 years

A wealth of experience:
Your pilot has 3000+ hours private and commercial flying experience, is a BBAC recognised instructor and 6 times British National Balloon Champion.

Bespoke ballooning:
Flying up to 3 adults with the pilot, everyone is treated individually. Our mission is to take you over, or from, your chosen areas. We specialise in hill flying in the South Shropshire Hills AONB (Area of outstanding natural beauty) and other hill areas.

Safety:
All equipment is routinely inspected according to airworthiness regulations. We are proud to have a clean record.

Insurance:
Up to £2,500,000 combined single limit which is in excess of the mandatory requirements. This cover is in the event of our negligence and does not cover your personal effects for which you need your own insurance.

Ethics and sustainability:
Our electricity is sourced from 100% renewables(source Good Energy and our own solar pv). We recycle extensively. We use fuel efficient vehicles. Our own launch field is managed organically.

Your money is safe:
Deposits and payments are placed in a deposit reserve account at Triodos Bank (a leading ethical bank) until our contract with you is completed. Payments are fully refunded if we don’t fly you in a reasonable time frame (see terms and conditions).

Great experiences:
Whether you want a participatory, involved flight under instruction or if you prefer a flight for the purpose of aerial photography/film/video our aim is to exceed your imagination.
