Default A-319 in Antartica

From today's AIAA newsletter:

Reuters (8/9) reports in order to evacuate an American because of a medical emergency, an Airbus A319 has been sent to Antarctica where it has landed on an ice runway, which the article describes as the most dangerous part of the mission.

I'm surprised that an A-319 was selected for this mission rather than a C-130.
