A Father’s Day Skyward Journey: From Gliding to Legacy!

Meet Kiff Saunders: Less businessman, more adventurer, he has built an evolutionary business based on serendipity.

Steering his own course, Kiff embarked on an adventure, acquiring a Tasmanian ballooning company that grew into Global Ballooning Australia. He’s shared a sunrise with more than 120,000 people in 35 balloons over the course of 30+ years – he transformed his dream into Victoria’s largest ballooning venture. 

Kiff’s passion for aviation ignited at just 15 with a gliding license. Following in the footsteps of his aviation pioneer grandfather, Kiff’s journey led him to the world of balloons. Crewing for a ballooning company at a young age ignited his love for the skies, and under the mentorship of World Ballooning Champion Peter Vizzard, Kiff soared to new heights, earning his Commercial Balloon Pilot’s License.

An Australian ballooning legend, Kiff’s journey takes him worldwide, flying over peaks and ranges, even establishing Nepal’s first commercial balloon company! Honoured with a place in the Australian Ballooning Hall of Fame, Kiff’s legacy soars through his children – Paterson, Edward and Scarlett.

Kiff sums it up best: “I am incredibly proud of all my children for their dedication to their ballooning exploits and each now holding their CPL. I will look forward to seeing where the magic world of ‘lighter than air’ takes them as they all journey through life.”
