Oct 20, 2023 (newstodate): Air Greenland's schedules in the years ahead will reflect the impact of the opening of new airports from end of 2025.
Nuuk Airport will thus see direct Transatlantic flights connecting Greenland and Denmark, today operated at Kangerlussuaq Airport in the country's southern end.
Air Greenland is now planning for the future, hinting at introducing early morning departures from Nuuk Airport to Copenhagen Airport as well as late return flights from Copenhagen to Nuuk - both in addition to the daily flight already served.
The increased flight frequency between Greenland and Denmark will require aircraft capacity beyond the single Airbus A330-800neo currently used on the Transatlantic flights, and the carrier is considering the options of either acquiring one more aircraft with Transatlantic capacity, or leasing capacity from an external provider.
Already today, Air Greenland is wet-leasing one Boeing 737-800 aircraft from the Danish charter and ACMI provider Jettime to serve the routes from Copenhagen to Narsarssuaq and Kangerlussuaq, as well as between Billund and Kangerslussuaq - and from summer 2024 between Aalborg and Kangerlussuaq via Copenhagen.
