Every year, our aircraft make a grand traverse from northern Canada to Antarctica for the start of our polar season. During these low-level positioning flights, we witnessed some of the most spectacular scenery South America had to offer; pristine jungles, vast deserts and iridescent blue ice caps.

Because our aircraft can land on remote airfields, the idea came to us to link each of these hard-to-reach locations in one, seamless journey. Far from crowded airports and big cities, we fly direct to these hidden gems with no transfers, overnights or long airport queues. 

The aircraft we are using is the iconic Dakota DC3 from the 1940s. While the aircraft has all the retro style of its era, it has undergone an $10 million conversion in the USA. The transformation included turbo-prop engines, the latest avionics and an array of modern safety systems.

The interior is a unique design that transports you back in time. It tells of when people dressed up to travel and flying was considered a glamorous affair. This was a time when the journey was as much about how you travelled as to where you were going.

Harking back to the glamour and sophistication of 1940’s aviation, our plane can take you to the doorstep of each destination.
