Sep 27, 2023 (newstodate): One of the last Boeing 737-700 aircraft in the fleet of SAS is now finding a new life in northern Canada, landing at Ottawa on September 26, 2023.
   The aircraft has been acquired by the carrier Canadian North as the first of five similar aircraft to replace the airline's current fleet of 13 Boeing 737-300/400 aircraft, with its first commercial flight later this autumn.
   In 2020, Canadian North and Air Greenland signed a LoI to explore partnership opportunities for air services and tourism development between Greenland and Canada.   
   The process was however stalled as the two partners were engulfed by the growing challenges when the coronavirus pandemic gained pace.
   -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 then said in an interview with a Canadian media.
   So maybe the ex-SAS aircraft will show up in new livery at Nuuk Airport as the new airport opens for traffic by the end of next year..
