Aug 29, 2023 (newstodate): The crucial importance of new airports at Nuuk, Ilulissat, and Qaqortoq in Greenland opening by the end of 2024 will be in the focus of this year's Summit Greenland.
   To be held in Nuuk on November 17, 2023, the summit arranged by law firms Horten and Nuna Law will be attracting participants among leaders in Greenlandic business, society, tourism, and politics.
   -It’s almost impossible to overestimate the potential of the airports for tourism, trade, and development. On the other hand, society must prepare to succeed and set the framework to establish the necessary infrastructure to support a growing number of travellers and tourists, says Peter Schriver, Attorney at law and partner at Nuna Law, on his Linkedin post.
   The opening of new Transatlantic airports in Greenland by the end of 2024 provides a basis for enhancing the country's air connectivity with new international routes.
   In 2021, Greenland's airport company Kalaallit Airports contracted the UK consulting firm ASM, Aviation Services Management, to boost the process and explore the future opportunities.
   Under a three-year contract, ASM is assisting 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.
   Kalaallit Airports is reportedly seeing a strong interest in the potentials for foreign airlines to launch flights to the coming new airports; according to Greenlandic media, talks have thus far been conducted with 27 airlines.
