What is the nearest airport to Antarctica?

Answer 1

There are no airports in Antarctica. Airplanes land and take off from ice runways, and are met with transportation vehicles to move cargo and people to and from the research facility to the airplanes.

Answer 2

There are no airport facilities as such in Antarctica, and there are no commercial air facilities anywhere on the continent.

All aircraft that service research stations in Antarctica are military and serve as logistical operations for the stations.

All aircraft that land on Antarctica land on ice runways, which can move and change. There are no tower or passenger facilities nearby. These runways are usable only by ski-equipped aircraft and only during the daylight months of October through perhaps March.

Answer 3

There are zero commercial airports in Antarctica. However, there are ice runways where government-supported logistical flights land on the continent near research stations.
