It's going down, y'all! The UAE Balloon Team has hit up the third edition of the International Ballooning Festival "Air Brotherhood," taking place in Nizhny Novgorod, Russia, from June 29 to July 1, 2025. This epic event is more than just a balloon-filled bash—it's a celebration of international friendship, cultural exchange, and shared ballooning enthusiasts from all around the world[1][2][5].
Captain Pilot Abdulaziz Nasser Al Mansoori, leader of the UAE Balloon Team, had some pretty inspiring words for the Emirates News Agency (WAM). According to him, the UAE's presence at the festival isn't just about the balloon action. It's a mission to spread some Emirati culture, and strengthen ties between the UAE and Russia—two friendly countries[1][2].
The team, proudly representing the UAE, performed some free aerial shows that left Russian officials and media in awe. Impressive, huh?!
Al Mansoori couldn't stop raving about the warm welcome from the Russian leadership, praising the public's engaging response to the team's participation and nightly shows throughout the festival[1][2].
This expedition to Russia is part of the UAE Balloon Team's second international tour, which began in Bristol, UK, to share ancient Arab and Islamic culture with the world[1][2].
Not only is this festival a fun and exciting event for all, but it's also an opportunity for countries to connect on a deeper level and promote peaceful collaboration among participants. And the UAE Balloon Team is the perfect symbol of these values, representing cultural diplomacy, friendship, and cooperation during their time in Russia[1][5].
