About Air Greenland
Air Greenland A/S is the flag carrier of Greenland, established on November 7, 1960, as Grønlandsfly. It was founded by Scandinavian Airlines (SAS) and Kryolitselskabet Øresund, a Danish mining company, with the initial goal of providing transport and logistics for American radar bases and cryolite operations in Greenland. Over the years, the Greenlandic Government also became an owner, and the company was rebranded as Air Greenland in 2002.
The airline's primary domestic and international hub is Nuuk Airport, with Ilulissat Airport also serving as a focus city. Air Greenland operates a diverse fleet adapted to the challenging Arctic environment, which includes an Airbus A330-800neo for transatlantic flights, and De Havilland Canada DHC-8-200 aircraft for its domestic fixed-wing network. Additionally, it operates a significant number of helicopters, such as H155, H225, and AS350 models, crucial for connecting remote settlements. The airline is also set to introduce an Airbus A320neo to its fleet in December 2026.
Air Greenland boasts an extensive route network of approximately 70 connections, serving 14 airports and 42 heliports within Greenland. Internationally, it provides year-round transatlantic services to Copenhagen Airport in Denmark and Keflavík International Airport in Iceland. Seasonal international routes include Billund and Aalborg in Denmark, and Iqaluit in Canada. Given the lack of roads connecting towns in Greenland, Air Greenland serves as a vital transportation lifeline for the country. Onboard, passengers can choose between Economy Class (Standard) and Premium Class on transatlantic flights. Premium Class passengers benefit from larger seats, hot meals, personal video screens, in-seat power, amenity kits, lounge access at Copenhagen Airport, priority boarding, and priority baggage claim. All fixed-wing flights offer complimentary snacks and drinks. The airline also provides charter services for tourism, scientific exploration, and search and rescue missions.
