BAE 146

The BAE-146 aircraft was manufactured in the United Kingdom by British Aerospace (which later became part of BAE Systems). It is a high-wing aircraft with very short runway requirements, which makes it particularly suited for landing and take-off in Antarctica.

The flight to Antarctica takes approximately 2 hours, depending on weather conditions.
