Goreme Balloons was founded in 1997 to operate hot air balloon flights in the region of Cappadocia. Since 2001, Goreme Balloons has run its balloon operations with the cooperation of the Turkish Aeronautical Association. In the same year, it obtained a Commercial Passenger Carriage License from the Ministry of Transportation (no. 2001HT-7). In addition, our exceptional well-trained ground crew backs up our professional pilots. We have highly experienced and licensed pilots from all around the world who speak English, Portuguese, Spanish, German and French. Goreme Balloons owns 8 large commercial balloons with the capacity of 10 to 21 passengers at any one time and one smaller craft for 4 passengers. We store all our equipment and balloons at our own balloon port. The port is unique in Turkey and Europe and approved by the Turkish Civil Aviation Authorities. It includes open and closed storage areas for balloons, a maintenance unit and a 10 ton propane tank with quick refuelling system. An extra service we offer for foreign balloonists coming to Cappadocia is the use of our balloon port.

In 2005, 16,000 passengers flew with us (11,000 in 2004). This has earned us the distinction of being the largest growing balloon company in Turkey and Europe and one of the most well–known balloon companies in the world. This, in turn, has brought increased world-wide recognition to the beautiful region of Cappadocia and to the sport of hot air ballooning.
