ANI was absorbed by Antarctic Logistics Expeditions a couple of years ago.
I don't believe that they own any aircraft - instead they charter in Kenn Borek's Twotters, and the Russians' IL76.
ANI used to charter in SAFAIR's C130, but I don't think they do that any more (IL76s are cheaper I guess!).
If you have to fly in Antarctica (and I thoroughly recommend it :E ) other operators down there for fixed wing ski work:
Enterprise Air BT67 Basler working for the Russians between Molodeznhaya, Progress and Vostok
AWI (German) DO228s also flying around ex Molodez. and around Dronning Maud Land
Australian CASA212's between Casey, Davis, Mawson and other places.
BAS twotters (with a DHC7 flying to/from Rothera)
Kenn Borek's DHC6's all over the place
Various military stuff (US, NZ, Italian) from CHCH to McMurdo to SPole (but I expect you'd know about thier movements from NZ). Some ski, most wheels.
Russian IL76's from Capetown to Molod (also Troll's blue ice runway), also from Puntas to Patriot Hills. These are wheeled operations to Blue Ice.
Good luck!
