A Boeing 787 Dreamliner, operated by Norse Atlantic, landed smoothly on an icy runway at the Troll Airfield in a remote part Antarctica.
The runway has been extended to a total length of 2,700 metres (8,858 ft), long enough to facilitate all aircraft of the Boeing 737 and Airbus A320 families, and also suitable for operations with wide bodies like the Boeing 787 and Airbus A350, although not at maximum take off weight. The ILS (instrument landing system) was tested in June 2018.
Boeing has committed $1 billion to expand its 787 Dreamliner manufacturing plant in South Carolina. The investment aims to upgrade infrastructure and create 500 jobs over five years.
