A historic moment unfolded at Wolf’s Fang Runway as the Airbus A330 touched down, becoming the first aircraft of its kind to land on ice in Antarctica. More efficient and purposefully chosen for its lower fuel burn, it marks an evolution in how we access the continent with care.
With the luxury of landing on ice comes a responsibility we take seriously. Each week, we fly in scientists alongside guests, supporting vital research across numerous bases. Increased accessibility, when managed responsibly, strengthens the scientific work that helps protect this extraordinary environment.
Our intentions have always remained the same: to safeguard the landscape we operate within. We believe that showing people the beauty of Antarctica inspires them to help protect it too.
A milestone in polar aviation and another meaningful step toward responsible access to the Seventh Continent.
