On the flight deck: flying Air Greenland's A330 to Kangerlussuaq
In this video we fly from Copenhagen to Kangerlussuaq (SFJ) in Greenland onboard Air Greenland's A330-200 OY-GRN. Come along as we join the Captain for his pre-flight walkaround, take a wander through the cabin before everyone has boarded (sampling both economy and business class seats) and then sit in the jumpseat for the duration of the flight. We get a detailed explanation of some of the important aspects of the flight planning from the First Officer, we navigate around an area of observed severe turbulence, and we enjoy epic views of Greenland on a clear and sunny day across the world's largest island. Finally, we make a visual approach into Kangerlussuaq on a stunning CAVOK day. Don't forget to hit that subscribe button, and let us know what you thought in the comments!

Air Greenland - A330 200 - Economy - Kangerlussuaq (SFJ) to Copenhagen (CPH) | TRIP REPORT
Air Greenland is the flag carrier airline of Greenland owned by the Greenlandic Government. The airline is over 60 years old and currently has a fleet of 32 aircraft including a single A330 used for transatlantic and United States military charter flights. Kangerlussuaq is home to just 508 people, but it acts as a feeder airport to smaller towns that don't have long runways. Flights to heliports in the remote settlements are operated on contract with the government of Greenland.
The airline is a unique way to visit the Arctic, and if you're looking for an adventure I highly suggest traveling North instead of South on your next vacation. Also as of December 2022 the Air Greenland A330neo has entered its fleet!

Air Greenland - A330 800neo - Business Class - Kangerlussuaq (SFJ) to Copenhagen (CPH) | TRIP REPORT
I recently flew on Air Greenland's newest aircraft to experience its Premium cabin with snowy landscapes and friendly Danish hospitality.
Air Greenland is owned by the Greenlandic government, but realistically it's a heavily Danish-influenced airline with mostly European executives. The airline has played a pivotal role in connecting the vast and unpredictable landscapes of Greenland for decades as the autonomous territory of Denmark has no roads outside of town limits. Aviation serves as a lifeline for remote communities, especially those without access to harbors. SAS and a Danish mining company founded the airline as Grønlandsfly in 1960.
The A330-800neo has been a slow seller as only 7 have been built so far. But the shortened widebody fits Air Greenland's future plans to connect the capital city Nuuk's short-runway and Copenhagen while being stuffed with cargo. It replaced the airline's previous jet (an old A330-200 nicknamed Norsaq). Passenger comfort was decreased in the new high-density jet, and the quality in Premium class also decreased poorly. I was disappointed in the undercooked food, lack of hot towels, and reduced personal touch (even though prices were increased 2x).

Steep approach over icebergs! Flying the Air Greenland Dash 8 to Aasiaat and Ilulissat
In this video we fly from Kangerlussuaq to Aasiaat and Ilulissat in the flight deck of the trusty Dash 8-200. See what it's like from the pilot's perspective flying a steep approach (6 degree glideslope) into the very short runway (799 meters) at Aasiaat. The pilots tell us all about what flying in Greenland is like and in the end the scheduled service turns into a sightseeing flight, coming in over Disko Bay and seeing the thousands of enormous icebergs that surround Ilulissat. Then another beautiful steep approach into Ilulissat. An incredible day for flying and an incredible crew to do it with.

The World's Strangest International Airport - Kangerlussuaq, Greenland (Cultural Travel Guide)
Kangerlussuaq has a fascinating history and an uncertain future. The former US airbase of Sondrestrom is currently the hub of Air Greenland's network and the only airport in the country that can accommodate the Airbus A330 that flies the daily lifeline link to Copenhagen. A small town of around 500 people services the airport, far from the major urban centres of Greenland. Local tour operators provide options for transiting passengers that include searching for musk oxen and driving to the ice cap. However, all that is about to change as new international airports are scheduled to open in Nuuk and Ilulissat in 2024. The future for Kangerlussuaq's airport and, more importantly, for its residents, is very much in doubt.

Sunrise Air Greenland Dash 8 flight deck ride from Nuuk to Kangerlussuaq
In this video we begin the journey home from Greenland, taking a quick hop on the Dash 8 flight deck jump seat from Nuuk to Kangerlussuaq with Air Greenland. Departing at sunrise we're treated to spectacular views on the climb out, golden light in the flight deck and on the fjords below throughout the cruise, plus a lovely landing back into Kangerlussuaq. We again take the chance to chat with the very friendly pilots about their careers and flying in Greenland. This is the penultimate installment (part 7) in the Greenland video series; we'll be wrapping it up with the A330 flight back to Copenhagen next week. (Recorded in September 2021.)

Flying Air Greenland from Kangerlussuaq to Nuuk via Maniitsoq
Welcome to another trip report!
On August 20, I flew Air Greenland from Kangerlussuaq, GL to Nuuk, GL through Maniitsoq, GL. Nuuk is the capital and largest city in Greenland with over 17,000 residents. Air Greenland (previously known as Greenlandair) is the flag carrier and only airline based in Greenland. They operate a fleet of 32 aircraft and are owned by the Greenlandic Government. Besides running scheduled services and government-contracted flights to most villages in the country, they also support remote research stations and provide charter services for tourists and Greenland's energy and mineral-resource industries along with medivac operations during emergencies. They technically have seven subsidiaries: the airline, hotels, tour operators, a travel agency specialized in Greenlandic tourism, and the Arctic Umiaq Line, an unprofitable but government-subsidized ferry service that I am interested in doing a video on in the near future.
On our way, we had a quick stop in Maniitsoq to drop off and pick up some passengers. Maniitsoq is the 6th largest town in Greenland with 2,670 residents.
I hope you enjoy the video!

There are only 7 active A330-800neos in commercial service, at the time of publishing.
We landed on Runway 27 in Kangerlussuaq. From what I can tell that is rare. Normally landing aircraft fly straight-in over the fjord to runway 9. This is my second trip to Greenland and it may be the most beautiful country in the world. The extra maneuvering for runway 27 was a bonus.
