Norse Atlantic Airways showcased its expertise by completing another groundbreaking Antarctic mission. The airline used its advanced Boeing 787 Dreamliner to handle complex operations and enhance its reputation for innovation.
For the second year, Norse Atlantic Airways’ Dreamliner successfully landed on Antarctica’s challenging blue ice runway. The mission, conducted with the Norwegian Polar Institute and Aircontact, reinforced the airline’s support for critical scientific research.
The Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner delivered over 10 tons of research equipment and scientists. Its journey began in Oslo, included a stop in Cape Town, and ended at Troll Airfield. The aircraft’s efficiency enabled a round trip between Cape Town and Antarctica without refueling, saving costs and reducing emissions.
This mission is one of four planned flights supporting polar science. These efforts demonstrate Norse Atlantic Airways’ dedication to advancing scientific research. The airline safely transported essential cargo to remote stations, helping researchers achieve significant progress.
The Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner excels in long-haul operations with a range of over 15,000 kilometers. It minimizes environmental impact through superior fuel efficiency and advanced technology. The aircraft also enhances passenger comfort, making it a reliable choice for challenging missions.
Two more charters will further solidify Norse Atlantic Airways’ role in Antarctic research. The airline continues to deliver innovative solutions while enabling groundbreaking discoveries in remote regions.
