International Commercial Hot Air Balloon Pilot

Hello, Welcome to my website 

My name is Alex and I am a Balloon Pilot from the South West of England. I have flown all over the world from the Italian mountains to the beautiful Canadian countryside. On this website I am documenting my travels and adventures flying the oldest form of manned aviation …..the Hot Air Balloon.

Flying has been my focus for many years. I love sharing my passion with others and helping people discover the wonders of flight.

Working for - Virgin Balloon Flights

I began working as Ground Crew back in 2018. Then after passing my licenses and gaining lots of experience, I started flying for them in 2023.

Virgin Balloon Flights is the UK’s number one passenger hot air balloon ride operator. It started in 1994 inspired by Sir Richard Branson’s record-breaking balloon adventures across the Atlantic and Pacific oceans.

They have flown more than a million happy passengers with over 100 beautiful launch sites across the United Kingdom.

Passenger Testimonials

“Thank you for an amazing flight over the hills of Dorset! It was my first time flying in a Hot Air Balloon. The pilot Alex was very knowledgeable and helped reduce any concerns I had. Highly recommended.”

“What a great start to the day!! Watching the spectacular sunrise and flying in the morning glow. Had a fantastic flight over the area in which we have lived for many years, seeing it from a new perspective. We can't thank you enough for an incredible experience.”

“Brilliant way to get everyone in the Village involved with a (Tethered) Hot Air Balloon ride in the grounds of the Hotel. It was lovely seeing how excited the children and residents were with something so out of the ordinary.”
