A Frigid First: Hi Fly Makes A Historic Landing In Antarctica

Hi Fly Malta has made history by becoming the first airline to ever operate the Airbus A330 on a flight to Antarctica. Last night, under the bright 24-hour sunlight in which Antarctica bathes during the Southern Hemisphere’s summer months, thewidebody twinjet touched down on the Wolf’s Fang Runway in Queen Maud Land. The aircraft had flown in from Cape Town in South Africa, with the journey taking more than five and a half hours.
