The ministry said in a statement: "During the implementation of the balloon flight activity in Luxor today, and after confirming the morning weather observation, the wind speed was 3 knots on the surface of the earth, and after a group of balloons took off and reached a height of approximately 60 meters, the wind speed was about 7 knots over the surface of the earth. This height caused one of the balloons to deflect in the direction of another balloon, causing a rupture in the balloon.”

 

The ministry pointed out that the balloon descended to the ground, carrying 28 passengers, who suffered some minor injuries and were taken to the hospital to check on their condition.

 

The ministry confirmed that balloon flight activity has been suspended until a committee from the Civil Aviation Authority arrives today to investigate the incident.
