	Air New Zealand Flight 901 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Air New Zealand Flight 901 was a non-scheduled passenger transport service from Auckland International Airport in New Zealand to Antarctica and return.
		The flight was specifically designed and marketed as a unique sight-seeing experience, carrying an experienced Antarctic guide who would point out scenic features and landmarks using the aircraft public address system.
		It cited pilot error as the principal cause of the accident and attributed blame to the decision of Captain Jim Collins to descend below the customary minimum altitude level, and continue at that height when the crew was unsure of the plane's position.
