Businesses that operate hot air balloon rides are required to check with the planning and zoning office in the town(s) in which they plan to operate. If the business has over 36 operations (landing and take-offs) per year, licensing is required through the Connecticut Department of Transportation, Bureau of Aviation. Contact the agency: (860) 594-2544 Be sure to review the Federal Aviation Administration. The FAA call hot air balloons “manned free ballooning”. Review the agency’s licensing information.
