Apr 3, 2015 (newstodate): The launch of services by the new carrier Greenland Express, slated for May 11, 20915, remains an uphill struggle.
The carrier has thus now postponed the planned opening till June 14, 2015, as the Danish CAA, Trafikstyrelsen has still to issue the final permit for the carrier to lift off.
According to a press release by Greenland Express, Trafikstyrelsen is now seeking direct access to the ACMI capacity provider contracted by Greenland Express to fly the routes with an Airbus A320 aircraft.
So far, Greenland Express has refused to publish the name of this partner.
Pending the final approvals by Trafikstyrelsen, Greenland Express has now had to approach customers that have already booked flights from May 15, 2015.
The carrier will launch services on routes from Billund to Greenland's two Atlantic airports at Kangerlussuaq and Narsarsuaq, and a domestic route network will offer passengers feeder connections with turboprop aircraft to and from Nuuk, Upernavik, Ilullisat, Aasiaat, Sisimiut, Manitsoq, and Paamiut, as well as helicopter services to small hamlets in South Greenland.
