The Taittinger hot air balloon took to the skies once again at the 35th annual Bristol Balloon Fiesta, Europe’s largest ballooning event with 250,000 visitors attending. Held from 8th to 11th August 2013 it was hailed as one of the best fiestas on record for the Taittinger balloon.

As 1 of the 150 participating balloons at the festival the 6 successful Taittinger flights covered a total of 64 km (34.6 nautical miles)

One flight saw it becoming part of a record breaking mass landing, when 74 balloons landed at the old Cadbury Chocolate factory; the most balloons landed on one site from the festival ever!
