Ultimate HELI is operating an Airbus Helicopters AS350 B3 during the summer season in Antarctica from January to April 2015.
The helicopter and crew departed from Cape Town harbor on a scientific research vessel in early January and are expected back in Cape Town in mid April.
The helicopter, shown here in the hangar, will be based in Antarctica from January to mid-April.
Scientists will use the helicopter to collect valuable research information around the Northern and Eastern Antarctica mainland.
Shaun Roseveare, CEO of Ultimate Heli, said: “We are an extensive operator of Airbus Helicopters AS350 and AS355s. This has been a new and exciting opportunity for our company we look forward to working on many scientific research missions in Antarctica.”
