Airbus A340-300

With a service range of 7.400 nautical miles, the Airbus A340-300 is ideally suited to flying long distance routes. At a cruising speed of 0.86 mach, this is highly reliable and efficient aircraft. As a result of its four engines, the A340-300 is an airplane that delivers every time. Robust, comfortable and safe, it performs exceedingly well in this environment.

The superior first class and business class cabins are spacious and elegant, ensuring absolute comfort for our guests as they journey from Cape Town to Wolf’s Fang Runway in just five hours.

GULFSTREAM G550

With a 6,750NM range the Gulfstream G550 is one of the most capable business jets in the world, and has the capacity to fly from Cape Town to Wolf’s Fang runway and back again without refuelling.

It is also fast. Traveling at 0.85 mach, we reach Antarctica in only five hours and with dozens of landings, our pilots have built up a huge amount of experience.

LUXURY ACROSS THE OCEAN

Both planes have wide oval windows, which offer incredible views as we fly over the icebergs of the Southern Ocean.

This is the only way to travel to Antarctica with our private charters offering a luxurious and comfortable way to travel to Antarctica.

“It has always been a dream to set foot on the continent of Antarctica. I never would have believed that it was possible to do it in such style and comfort.” Rick Garratt

We have two identical aircraft and the crew are highly experienced in polar operations. Our chief pilot has 10 seasons of Antarctic experience, and last year, all our groups reached the South Pole.
