Sep 30, 2015 (newstodate): After a prolonged period of silence, the project for a new low-cost airline in Greenland, Aluu Airlines has again provided some limited signs of life..
Using facebook as its communications platform, Aluu Airlines now confirms that it is working towards a launch of services on a full scale in Greenland, including helicopter services on domestic routes.
The project group is looking at Sikorsky S-92 as a viable vehicle for providing flight services to and between the country's numerous small towns served by helipads and small airfields.
Depending on the outcome of the Greenland governments decisions on the forthcoming tender for flight services, Aluu Airlines claims to be ready to launch traffic from January 1, 2016, already.
Aluu Airlines handed in its application for an AOC in December 2014 and planned for introduction of Airbus A321 services between Greenland and Denmark as well as turbo-prop feeder services between Kangerlussuaq and destinations in Greenland.
Initially, the launch of services was slated for June 1, 2015, but the start was postponed, the company said in March 2015, allowing for adjustments to the company structure as required for the issuance of the carrier's AOC - and the project is to start out as a real, not virtual carrier, it has been stressed.
The project for setting up Aluu Airlines is driven by Pele Broberg, a former Air Greenland pilot, and Kuno Fencker, Royal Arctic Lines Chairman of the Board.
