In other words, the larger the balloon envelope, the more people you can carry. Some HUGE balloons can carry up to 30 people including the pilot. Technically the 310 can take up 16 + its pilot, but Sundance uses 13 (including pilot).
that balloon is a 310 000 cubic foot balloon so thats why is it so big I think it can take up 12 passengers + pilot (correct me if i am wrong) most balloons i have seen are 90 000 cubic feet and they can carry pilot + 2/3 depending wight and so on so forth.
