Ballooning in the rest of UK
Alba ballooning was part of the Balloons over Britain (see Balloons over Britain) group of well established independent balloon operating companies in Britain, servicing leading Agencies such as Red Letter Days, Buy A Gift and Into The Blue. Since it's formation in the early 1990s, and subsequent expansion to some eighteen operators in the balloon operator heydays of the "Noughties", heavy consolidation in the UK balloon rides industry has resulted in just several large area operators now servicing balloon flights in England and Wales for Balloons over Britain customers and client Agencies.
Balloons over Britain sell 'national' balloon flight vouchers whereby a flight can interchangeably be booked between any of the offered locations serviced by any group operator. Or customers can book direct with an individual operator. These individual operators (you can click on them to go to their websites) are:
- Wickers World - servicing central England
- Bailey Balloons - servicing South Wales and the South West of England
- Balloon Rides - servicing Yorkshire
- Broadland Balloons - servicing Norfolk
- Adventure Balloons - servicing London and the Home Counties
We would naturally recommend any of these operations as we have worked with them as colleagues, interchanging customers between ourselves, for many years.
