Intercontinental flights for transporting passengers and cargo from Punta Arenas, Chile, to ALE’s main camp at Union Glacier are usually made by combination passenger/cargo aircraft such as Lockheed Hercules L-382G and Ilyushin IL76-TD. http://antarctic-logistics.com/?page_id=657 [antarctic-logistics.com]
While a milestone, the Boeing 757 landing was not the first commercial jet to land in Antarctica (though it was the first at Union Glacier, , according to Leeham News and Comment).
This is the first (to our knowledge) operation by an airline, operating an off-the shelf airliner to Antarctica (RNZAF uses a 757-200 to McMurdo and Pegasus, Privatair has flown a BBJ to Troll, and Skytraders of Australia operate an A319CJ to Wilkins for the Australian Government). Icelandic’s 757 is Reg. # TF-FIN. http://leehamnews.com/2015/11/27/icelandic-becomes-first-regular-airli... [leehamnews.com]
民間旅客機で初めて? (スコア:2, 参考になる)
Skytrader社が運行しているのはこれにあたらないのですか？

エアバスA319でウィルキンス滑走路に降りてるようですけど。

In 2008, an Australian group flew a commercial Airbus A319 from Hobart to the research station of Casey, Antarctica.

なるほど、「民間のボーイング757旅客機が世界で初めて着陸」と言われたら、誤読しますよねえ。Leeham Newsが挙げている先行事例は
ニュージーランド空軍の757-200(民間じゃない), PrivatairのBBJ(個人向け737-700, 757じゃない), SkytradersのA319CJ(757じゃない)ですね。
# なぜ757?
Re: (スコア:0)
エアバス・コーポレート・ジェットライナー(ACJ)はA319等エアバスA320シリーズをベースに製造されているビジネスジェット仕様の旅客機で、「PrivatairのBBJ(個人向け737-700, 757じゃない)」に相当する旅客機ですね。
