Nov 30, 2022 (newstodate): Passengers traveling with Air Greenland on the trunk route connecting Greenland and Denmark will soon be boarding the carrier's new Airbus A330-800neo.
The aircraft commenced the test flight program by the end of October, and the company performed the Customer Acceptance Flight earlier this month.
The aircraft, now slated to be officially handed over on December 7, 2023, will fly from Toulouse to Kangerlussuaq and be ferried to Copenhagen Airport for technical inspections.
And then comes the big day when the new aircraft will commence commercial operations on December 19, 2022, operating six of the airline's seven weekly rotations between Copenhagen and Kangerlussuaq until February 2023 when all flights will be performed with the Airbus A330-800 aircraft.
As part of the process, Air Greenland's current and only wide-body aircraft, the Airbus A330-200 manufactured in 1998 and serving with Air Greenland since 2002, was put up for sale in September 2019 under a contract with Skytech-AIC marketing the aircraft.
The Airbus A330-200 will be available for delivery to a new customer in March 2023.
