Envelopes are growing on and on

Envelope of size 10.000 m³ (350) did not last as a biggest one in our price-list for a long time, just one season in fact. It was still not big enough size for our customers :-). We are proud to announce design, manufacturing and EASA certifying of a BB120P (12.000 m³/ 425.000 cuft). Type P is a new type line designed in cooperation with our professional operators of very big balloons. It has a new curve and 28 gores.

While for Kapadokya the balloons are still under the sewing machines, the first finished piece arrives currently to Portugal. Avidaebela company extends the balloon business activity with this twin to s/n 646 Avidaebela BB30Z. It will be the biggest balloon flying passengers in the Peninsula Iberica (Portugal and Spain). We wish you, Guido, a lot of astonished passengers!
