May 1, 2014 (newstodate): The issue of Greenland's airport infrastructure remains an open field for in-fights and political indecision.
Once again politicians have discussed the localization of the future hub for Atlantic flights between Greenland and Denmark, with Nuuk as the focal point.
Today's Atlantic flights are located at Kangerlussuaq and Narsarsuaq while the bulk of the passengers neither end or start their travel at these locations but are transported to and from the capital Nuuk and other localities in Greenland.
After another lengthy debate, Greenland's politicians again decided to relegate the issue for more investigation and analysis before making an eventual decision.
Among the arguments is lack of statistics on the current Nuuk Airport's regularity and up-time, as well as concerns for the employment situation at the current Atlantic airports' 500 staff at Kangerlussuaq and 130 at Narsarsuak.
