Aircontact Group

Aircontact played a pivotal role in brokering a landmark flight operated by Norse Atlantic Airways, marking the first non-stop journey from Norway to Darwin, Australia.
The flight, chartered by Albastar S.A. and expertly facilitated by Aircontact, underscores the company's expertise in arranging complex, long-distance air travel.

This historic flight, a significant achievement for both Aircontact and Norse Atlantic Airways, showcases the capabilities of the Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner. The aircraft took off from Oslo Gardermoen Airport at 06:30 AM on Saturday, August 3rd, and landed at Darwin International Airport at 06:00 AM on Sunday, August 4th. The journey covered approximately 14,730 kilometers in 16.5 hours, demonstrating the long-range performance and efficiency of the aircraft.

In the previous year, Aircontact was also the responsible broker for another remarkable achievement by Norse Atlantic Airways—the first landing of a Boeing 787 Dreamliner on a 'blue ice runway' at Troll Airfield, Antarctica, for the Norwegian Polar Institute.
