The balloon has moored again near the former Forum Hotel. The previous one was destroyed by a violent storm
A new balloon has been placed under the Forum Hotel – the previous one was destroyed by a strong wind. Preparations for the return of the sightseeing balloon to this place began already in mid-July. “We have replaced the shell with a new one, there is also a new gondola” – says the owner.
Coming back depends on the Civil Aviation Authority (Urzad Lotnictwa Cywilnego)
The resumption of flights depends on the procedures of the Civil Aviation Authority. “We are doing everything to resume flights within a week” – Marek Kufel from Balon Widokowy tells us. He adds that the balloon that was damaged by the wind was of course insured.
“He was excluded from air operations at the time because we expected storms and gusts of wind, but not on such a large scale. We were prepared for the wind up to 25 meters per second maximum, not 35” – remembers Kufel.
The balloon was damaged on Saturday evening – 13th of June 2020. There were hail and rain and the wind blew at over 120 km/hour!
