despite the lack of friction to grab the wheels on the ice.
There's no indication that the Airbus ever took-off. It might need miles of runway.

“The runway is four kilometres (2.5 miles) long,”...
I think that is long enough to take off... maybe.

It might need miles of runway.Generally need longer runways in hot areas. With the cold, dense air, they probably can take off without much trouble.

It might need miles of runway. It's a jet. It does not need traction to take off.
