Air Greenland Acquiring Airbus A320neo To Fly Between Ilulissat & Copenhagen
The government-owned carrier will add a second jet route to Copenhagen as it expands capacity and uses a leased aircraft to speed service.
- Following its 2025 announcement to double its jet fleet, government-owned Air Greenland is acquiring an Airbus A320neo to operate flights between Ilulissat and Copenhagen, with service expected in spring 2027.
- Expanded infrastructure including a 2,200-meter runway in Ilulissat now enables jet operations, replacing the former 880-meter runway that only accommodated turboprops.
- Air Greenland's six-year lease includes 168 seats configured across 29 rows, with 18 premium class and 150 economy class spots.
- Pilots and cabin crew can operate both the Airbus A330 and Airbus A320 with the same license, while maintenance for the aircraft will be based in Copenhagen.
- Flights launched on April 19, 2026, utilizing a leased Jettime Boeing 737-800 before the A320neo enters service, fulfilling the airline's fleet-doubling commitment.
