DHL Balloon, Tethered helium balloon in Downtown Core, Singapore

The DHL Balloon operates from Tan Quee Lan Street, reaching heights of 150 meters to provide aerial views of Singapore's Central Business District and Marina Bay.

In April 2006, forty crew members spent twelve hours inflating this French-manufactured balloon, which marked Singapore's first public aerial advertising structure.

The balloon project required unprecedented cooperation between Singapore's Urban Redevelopment Authority, Land Authority, and Tourism Board to permit large-scale public advertising.

Tickets cost 23 dollars for adults and 13 dollars for children, with daily operations from 11:00 AM to 9:30 PM, subject to weather conditions.

The metal-cabled aircraft holds 7,800 cubic meters of helium and accommodates 29 passengers in its gondola for vertical ascents above the city.

Inception: April 2006
