Tuesday, August 27, 2024 Air Greenland is set to expand its domestic network with the introduction of a new route connecting Nuuk and Aasiaat, beginning November 28, 2024. This new service is a significant development for Greenland’s aviation sector, enhancing connectivity between these two important towns. The flights will be operated using Dash 8 aircraft, configured to accommodate 37 passengers.
The introduction of this route is expected to boost both local business travel and tourism, providing a vital link between the capital city Nuuk and Aasiaat, a key hub in western Greenland. The new route will be operated three times a week, on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, providing frequent and reliable service between Nuuk and Aasiaat. The schedule is designed to cater to the needs of both business travelers and tourists, offering convenient morning departures and early afternoon returns.
The use of Dash 8 aircraft, known for their reliability and performance in challenging environments, is particularly well-suited for Greenland’s rugged terrain and variable weather conditions. The Dash 8’s ability to operate on short runways and in remote areas makes it an ideal choice for this new service. This new route is a significant step in Air Greenland’s ongoing efforts to enhance connectivity within the country.
Nuuk, the capital and largest city of Greenland, serves as the political, economic, and cultural center of the country. Aasiaat, located in the western part of Green.
