The Festo gas balloon
Identification sign: PH-KTS
The netless gas balloon Type NL-STU carries the aviation identification sign PH-KTS and is one of the best and most modern gas balloons in the world. Primarily designed for sporting use, this racy member of the Festo balloon family offers its passengers an particularly exciting experience.
Travellers should, however, be prepared to invest some time - a flight normally lasts 3 to 5 hours. With favourable wind conditions, it is also possible to undertake whole-day flights or - best of all - flights until sunset.
A frequent competitor in international balloon races
The Festo gas balloon is a regular participant in balloon races. Its first public appearance was in 1995 in Wil, St. Gallen, Switzerland on the occasion of the Gordon Bennett races. It has since enjoyed a number of further successes in this prestigious race and has also participated in the legendary Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta in New Mexico, USA.
