Norse Atlantic Airways Lands Boeing 787 in Antarctica
In November 2023, Norse Atlantic Airways landed the first Boeing 787 Dreamliner in Antarctica. This was a major accomplishment for the airline and Boeing. On November 15, 2023, the flight arrived at Troll Airfield, a Norwegian research station in Queen Maud Land, Antarctica. With no concrete runway available, the plane had to land on a so-called “blue ice” runway.
The plane carrying 45 scientists from the Norwegian Polar Institute and other research groups successfully flew from Cape Town to Antarctica and back on a single tank of fuel. Transporting, storing, and utilizing fuel is challenging in Antarctica, but using the fuel-efficient airplane can lessen the challenges. The successful flight shows the potential of using large aircraft to reduce emissions and the environmental impact at Troll while transporting researchers to Antarctica.
