Cappadocia Balloon Flight History — Daily Status Log

This Cappadocia balloon flight log shows the available daily record. Official entries contain decisions captured from the flight authority. Earlier entries are weather-based estimates reconstructed from sunrise-window wind, visibility and rain, not confirmed flight outcomes.

Use it to answer the questions travelers actually ask: did balloons fly yesterday? How rough has this week been? Is the weather system passing? For this morning’s decision, check the live balloon status; for the days ahead, the 7-day forecast.

Month Calendar View

You can now switch between the card log below and the month calendar above to check flight outcomes at a glance. Open any card for the full sector-by-sector detail, or scan the calendar to spot patterns across a whole month.

Daily Flight Log — Last 60 Days

Flight-window times shown on flying days are in Cappadocia local time (Europe/Istanbul).

Official days are the flight authority’s recorded decision, logged by us the day it was made. Estimate days are reconstructed from sunrise-window weather (wind, visibility, rain) using the same thresholds as our live status — official records accumulate daily from 5 July 2026 onward.

Pick Your Morning — Next 7 Days

The log above shows how the last two months actually went. Below is the same view pointed forward: the next seven mornings with our flight-chance estimate for each, so you can choose a date with the recent pattern in front of you. A morning already ruled on by the flight authority shows that decision instead of an estimate.

Whichever morning you pick, book a flexible ticket: the cancellation rules matter far more than the price when the weather decides on the day. Our Cappadocia balloon booking guide covers what to check before you pay, and the flight planner helps you keep a backup morning. Choosing between companies rather than dates?

Looking for the totals rather than the day-by-day record? The measured cancellation rate page rolls this log up month by month, including the split between weather cancellations and closures announced the day before.

How This Log Works

Official recording began on 5 July 2026. We save decisions during scheduled source checks, so capture can follow publication and some dates have no captured official ruling. The log groups mornings by their Cappadocia date (Europe/Istanbul); authority publication times originate in UTC. Read each entry’s label: an official record and a weather estimate are different kinds of evidence.

Dates before official recording began use reconstructed weather and the historical estimate rules, not a rerun of the current model. Weather snapshots beside official entries add context; they are not an operator’s flight report. For monthly totals and the period counted, see our Cappadocia balloon cancellation rate. Our methodology page explains how today’s estimates differ from official decisions.

Questions About Past Flights

Did the balloons fly in Cappadocia yesterday?

Check the most recent card in the log above — yesterday is the first entry. Official days show the authority’s actual ruling; the wind and visibility figures provide weather context.

How many days in a row can flights be cancelled?

In settled summer weather, cancellations are isolated single mornings. In winter and during spring storm systems, runs of three to five cancelled mornings happen — which is why we recommend never planning a winter trip around a single morning. The log above shows the current pattern at a glance.

Why do some days say “estimate”?

An estimate uses weather data rather than a captured authority decision. The early record, before 5 July 2026, was reconstructed from historical sunrise-window weather. Where an official record is missing, do not treat a weather estimate as confirmation that flights flew or were cancelled.
