The airlines' first international flight was from South Pole Airstrip (former airport of South Pole City) to Neo Domino City Airfield in UnitedTerra on April 14 1988 by a Snowing 747-100, leased from a private air charter company. Soon, in the 1990s the airline added about 35 more aircraft to their fleet. They ranged from DC-8s to Snowing 747-100s. They started international flights from South Pole Airstrip until the airport was closed on June 17, 2007 by the National Air Safety Board due to safety concerns. They then stopped all service to South Pole City for two years, until South Pole City International Airport opened in 2009. The airline is still thriving and is the leading airline in the business.
