The Ultimate Passenger Balloon.
Purpose-built for passenger operations, the A-Type offers a wide range of envelopes that will typically lift from 5 to 18+ persons — from the sport-sized A-77 up to our largest workhorse the — A-400.
Twenty slightly bulbous gores, each with numerous horizontal panels, provide tremendous strength without compromising artwork potential. And like all Camerons, the A-Series boasts a large “Loaded” mouth™ and Nomex PressureScoop™, which together make even the windiest inflations easy. This is especially important for balloons that have to work hard for a living.
