Hi Fly A340 registration 9H-SUN makes history flying 16h16m from Montevideo to Melbourne, a route of 6700 nm repatriating Australians. One of the longest passenger flights ever with an A340-300, 9H-SUN flew South and West over the border of Antarctica, a route where probably the astronauts in the ISS where the only and closest people to them. The flight took off from Montevideo, Uruguay, on the 11th April at 4:44 UTC and landed in Melbourne, Australia, at 21:00 UTC. The passengers were on an Antarctica expedition, following the trail of explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton. Such rescue flight was only possible with the determination of Hi Fly amazing staff and crew, whom like Shackleton, in extreme circumstances, keep together and go wherever it takes to save lives. #RepatriationFlight #WeFlyWeCare #ReadyToGo #hifly #hiflyairline #9hsun #a340 #a340300 #uruguay #covi̇d19
