The journey involved flying roughly 2,500 miles in each direction and took a shade over five hours each way. The aircraft spent less than three hours in Antarctica before returning. Hi Fly states that the mission ran as per plan and took even lesser time for the turnaround than initially expected. The flight was operated by Captain Carlos Mirpuri, who is also Hi Fly’s Vice President. The flight brought along tourists, researchers and essential goods to Antarctica.
