Putrajaya readies for hot air balloon festival

The third Putrajaya International Hot Air Balloon Fiesta will take place in Putrajaya, Malaysia from March 17 – 20, 2011. The event will feature more than 20 balloonists from 13 countries, including the United States, Switzerland, Japan, Germany, France, Thailand, and of course, Malaysia.

Chairman of the 3rd Putrajaya International Hot Air Balloon Fiesta 2011, Encik Khairudin Abd Rani said that, “Our objective is to create a multi racial–cultural event that promotes unity, with the theme: 1 WORLD, 1 MALAYSIA, 1 FIESTA.”

The highlight of the event will be the nightglow display of the hot air balloons. Since the event occurs after sunset, the balloons glow like huge light bulbs. A firework show will also take place. Other activities include hot air balloon rides, helicopter rides, water ball and sphere rides and children competitions.The four-day event will also showcase other flying events featuring para-motor, remote control planes and helicopters, aero models, and professional kite flying.

This year, the event is expected to see an increase in the number of attendees compared to years past. The inaugural and second fiestas, which were held in March 2009 and 2010, were estimated to have attracted 150-thousand and 250-thousand spectators respectively.

Palletways World  Hot Air Balloon Record Palletways, Europe’s specialist provider of express distribution services for small consignments of palletised goods, is pleased to announce it is sponsoring a new hot air balloon world record attempt. From the 1st  to 31st March, seventy five hot air balloons from the UK and Europe will go on standby to fly across the channel from Lydden Hill Race Circuit in Kent. This unique event will take place once the Met office gives the all clear for take off. Briefing will take place at dawn on the day of the flight with a mid morning launch. Leading the flight will be the brand new, Palletways special shape, fire breathing dragon balloon. The balloon is over 100 ft high and can carry 3 passengers. Ian Sharpe, balloon pilot and organiser said: “This will be a fantastic and exciting event. This year is the 50th anniversary of the first modern hot air balloon flight and I can’t think of a better way to celebrate that than with an event like this.” Palletways said: “We are delighted to sponsor this event. It will be an amazing spectacle to see seventy five balloons flying across the channel. It also provides us with the perfect opportunity to raise money and awareness for our chosen charities, theRNLI, the RAF BF, the Halow Project and Marie Curie.   Steve Richards, Director of Airborne Balloon Flights Ltd and event organiser added: “Flying across the channel in a hot air balloon is a very special experience, both Ian and I did it in 2005 and it was such a brilliant flight we knew it was something we wanted to repeat. The fact that this will be a world record makes it extra special.”
