This is the largest aircraft ever to land on Troll Airfield, Dronning Maud Land, Antarctica. A lot of hard work by many dedicated persons made this aviation milestone possible. Thank you to everybody involved!
Norwegian Polar Institute director, Camilla Brekke, says:
“Norwegian Polar Institute has safely landed a Boeing 787 Dreamliner on Troll Airfield. A milestone! This demonstrates our capability of performing more effective flight operations to Antarctica by carrying a larger scientific and logistics crew, more cargo with a smaller environmental footprint.”
