This is the largest aircraft in Antartica as of 2023. This is a record making flight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/media.cnn.com\/api\/v1\/images\/stellar\/prod\/screenshot-2023-11-17-at-13-15-27.png?c=16x9\" alt=\"Frozen first as Boeing 787 Dreamliner makes landing in Antarctica | CNN\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Thanks to CNN for this image.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The second event that we have is Air India&#8217;s first A350.
