Jan 05, 2021 (newstodate): The opening of new Transatlantic airports in Greenland by 2023 provides a basis for enhancing the country's air connectivity with new international routes.
   To boost the process and explore the future opportunities, Greenland's airport company Kalaallit Airports has contracted the UK consulting firm ASM, Aviation Services Management.
   Under a three-year contract, ASM will assist in developing a strategy for a future route network and ways to promote the new options to foreign airlines with a view to seek flights between Greenland, North America, Europe beyond Scandinavia, and eventually Asian markets.
   Today, Greenland's prime commercial air connection is based on Air Greenland flights between Kangerlussuaq and Copenhagen Airport.
   In the pipeline are now also flights between Greenland and Canada based on a LoI from January 2020 between Canadian North and Air Greenland.
   Together, the two signatories will explore partnership opportunities for air services and tourism development between Greenland and Canada.
    -Now that there is a vaccine in distribution, it’s time to start looking ahead to partnering on flights through Ottawa-Iqaluit-Nuuk and Ottawa-Iqaluit-Ilulissat. We would also like to connect Greenland directly with southern Canada, possibly via Toronto during the tourism season, which includes March, April and August to October, Canadian North Executive Chairman Johnny N. Adams said in an interview with a Canadian media.
