WHY: iFLY, the world’s largest indoor skydiving operation, has opened New Jersey’s only indoor flying facility and is now delivering the dream of flight to adventure seekers in the Garden State. With iFLY, people of all ages and abilities can experience human flight in a safe, comfortable and fun environment – without having to jump out of an airplane. Each indoor skydiving facility is a marvel of engineering that replicates the sensation of freefall, creating conditions that allow people to lean in and float on a smooth cushion of air. With the help of iFLY certified flight instructors, customers learn to fly, control their bodies in the air and experience true human flight.

To prepare for their flight experience, customers complete a training class guided by one of iFLY’s flight and safety instructors. Customers are then equipped with flight gear, including goggles, helmet and flight suit, and enter the flight chamber with an iFLY instructor at their side. All iFLY instructors are certified by the International Bodyflight Association (IBA), which established the gold standard for training and safety standards for indoor skydiving instructors.

Those interested in viewing the interactive experience, which is hard to imagine without seeing it, can watch a video athttps://youtu.be/zXe7t30wrCI.

SIGNIFICANCE: Since 1998, more than nine million customers worldwide have experienced human flight at iFLY facilities through a variety of ways. Those include family outings, excursions with friends, STEM school field trips, birthday parties, corporate events and military training sessions as well as other events. iFLY also offers Flight School for kids ages 6-16 and various adult league nights and coaching programs to allow tunnel flyers an opportunity to progress in the sport of bodyflight, one of the fastest-growing sports worldwide.
