Cappadocia hot air balloon flight status

Balloon flights are approved every morning by Turkish Civil Aviation (SHGM) depending on wind and visibility. We share today’s status here each morning.

Jeep safaris run even when balloons don’t fly

If the wind keeps the balloons on the ground, we still drive through the valleys in open-top jeeps to watch the sunrise. On flying mornings we take you to the best spot to see them.

Why balloons sometimes don’t fly

• Wind speed above the safe limit
• Fog or low visibility
• Rain, snow or storms expected
• No flight permit from civil aviation that morning
