Nuuk to Iqaluit

Starting on June 26, 2024, and ending on October 23, a weekly departure every Wednesday will connect Nuuk, Greenland, and Iqaluit, the capital of Nunavut.

This new route is the outcome of a cooperative agreement between Nunavut and Greenland signed in 2022, focusing on culture, education, fisheries, green energy, and mobility.

With the added benefit of an interline agreement with the Canadian North airline, travelers can now enjoy seamless journeys.

This opens doors to and from the North American market, further enhancing the accessibility of Greenland.

Partnerships with Icelandair and SAS

Air Greenland has also established interline agreements with major players in the aviation industry, such as Icelandair and SAS.

This strategic move allows travelers to book flights with these airlines through Air Greenland’s website, making it more convenient than ever to explore new horizons.

Aalborg Joins the 2024 Schedule

Another exciting development is the reopening of the route between Aalborg and Kangerlussuaq from June 25 to August 20.

While this route includes a stopover in Copenhagen, it caters to the needs of customers traveling to and from North Jutland.

Jettime operates this route on behalf of Air Greenland, ensuring a seamless and efficient travel experience.

More Flights to Denmark

Air Greenland’s Tuukkaq transatlantic aircraft will operate weekdays between Kangerlussuaq and Copenhagen from June 17 to September 8, 2024.

Recognizing the growing demand for transatlantic travel during the summer peak season, Air Greenland has extended its agreement with Jettime to offer additional flights on Mondays and Thursdays.

This brings the total number of weekly departures between Kangerlussuaq and Copenhagen to ten, enhancing connectivity for travelers.

Furthermore, Air Greenland is committed to improving domestic capacity to accommodate the increased Atlantic traffic.

Travelers can now enjoy a more flexible schedule, with enhanced routes and frequency, including a direct flight between Narsarsuaq and Copenhagen operating twice a week during the summer peak season.

To meet the needs of Greenland’s residents and visitors, there will be three weekly flights between Nuuk and Kulusuk.
