Episode 1 of 3 - Preparations, take off from Oslo, Norway, landing in Cape Town, South Africa, 13th and 14th November, 2023. Watch aviation history in the making as Norse Atlantic Airways, The Explorer’s Airline, documents our historic aviation journey, pioneering the first-ever landing of a Boeing 787 Dreamliner on the blue ice runway in Antarctica, and the largest aircraft to ever land in Antarctica!
Contracted by the Norwegian Polar Institute and AirContact, the world’s oldest air broker, our mission was to deliver crucial research equipment for Antarctic exploration.
Our exceptional cargo capacity and reduced carbon footprint, eliminating the need for refueling at Troll, played an important role in the mission's success.
