Antarctica Flights returns with a new season of aerial adventures

New flights allow guests to experience the majesty of Antarctica from the skies

Antarctica Flights has announced the launch of its new season, offering travellers an opportunity to explore the vast white wilderness of Antarctica from the comfort of a Qantas 787 Dreamliner. Celebrating its 30th anniversary, Antarctica Flights will operate eight flights from November 2024 to February 2025, departing from major Australian cities, including Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, and Perth.

Bas Bosschieter, CEO of Antarctica Flights, highlighted the unique nature of these journeys: “Our flights are more than just a journey; they’re an immersive once-in-a-lifetime Antarctic experience. We offer a unique perspective from the air that allows passengers to appreciate how vast Antarctica is.”

Each flight promises a day filled with awe-inspiring views, insightful commentary from onboard experts, and live observations from research stations on the ground. The aircraft’s large windows ensure optimal viewing of mainland Antarctica’s scattered ice, majestic icebergs, and rugged terrain. With 19 meticulously planned routes, no two flights are alike, guaranteeing a distinctive adventure each time.

In addition to the standard flights, two special New Year’s Eve flights departing from Melbourne on 31st December 2024 will offer passengers the chance to welcome in the new year in broad daylight over Antarctica. This special departure also commemorates the company’s first flight from Melbourne on New Year’s Eve in 1994.

Antarctica Flights remains committed to environmental conservation, ensuring each journey is carbon offset to minimise ecological impact. The company supports ongoing research through its partnership with the Antarctic Science Foundation, an international charity investing in Antarctic research to better understand and protect the region and the planet from climate change.
