Good news for those awaiting ZeroG flights

Good news for those looking forward to Zero Gravity flights in North Bay.

There have been some recent developments in getting the program off the ground.

After postponing the ZeroG flights campaign back in December, Swiss Space Systems (S3) recently announced the purchase of an Airbus A340-300 that will be used in the flights.

Now they’ve also signed a partnership with a Geneva-based travel agency to market the flights in destinations around the world, including Canada.

Back in November 2014, S3 announced North Bay would be the Canadian location for the ZeroG flights.

Technical and contractual delays led to the postponement of the campaign in late 2015.

The ZeroG website says the Canadian flights are scheduled for August 2017.

The 90 minute flights will offer 15 sessions of 20 to 25 seconds of weightlessness.
