SEA ICE OPERATIONS IN ANTARCTICA

A scientific team from a Major European country requested permission to conduct a trial flight using a large freighter aircraft with a maximum take-off weight of 190 tonnes.

The objective was to demonstrate the aircraft’s ability to transport large quantities of cargo in a single flight while landing on sea ice in the frozen Continent of Antarctica.

A significant amount of investigation, preparation, and planning was undertaken to ensure the safety of all personnel involved, as well as the protection of the aircraft and equipment. The operation required careful coordination, risk assessment, and specialised training.

The flight was a great success, proving that such an operation was achievable through thorough planning, preparation, and professional execution.
