In order to fly a hot air balloon, a pilot must obtain a license from the Federal Aviation Administration and be at least 14 years old. A pilot has to be at least 16 years old to carry passengers.

The passengers ride in a basket that attaches to the balloon. Usually made of wicker, the basket needs to be strong enough to carry weight, but flexible enough to withstand repeated landings. The basket may be small to carry only a pilot, or large enough to carry fifteen people. The pilot uses thin cables, usually made of steel, to attach the basket to the envelope.
