Hi Fly Makes History: Airbus A330 Lands in Antarctica for First Time
Portuguese charter airline Hi Fly has etched its name into aviation history with the successful landing of an Airbus A330 in Antarctica, marking the first commercial deployment of the twin-engine aircraft on the continent’s remote runways. The historic flight occurred on December 1, 2025, when Hi Fly’s Airbus A330-302 (registration 9H-HFI) touched down safely on the blue-ice runway at Wolf’s Fang Runway in Antarctica, piloted by Captain Carlos Mirpuri, Vice-Chairman of Hi Fly.
