Real challenge, real manual flying, real extreme weather... Airliner? Air Greenland!


Imagine country, where average annual temperature is 1.5 ??C (34.7 ??F)
Imagine country, where most populated city has 17.000 inhabitants
Imagine country so isolated and far away that rate of suicide is highest in the world

And stop imagining, welcome in Greenland!

Runways so icy and so short they might be operated only by certain type of aircraft. However, 100 flights are in my pocket and I have to tell you: Try it, flying in Greenland is great experience but with boring landscape...

Dash Q200 is the core aircraft of Air Greenland fleet


Retired from fleet - Boeing 757-200


The only long haul aircraft in fleet (will be replaced with 2 narrow body aircraft in winter 2016) Airbus 330-200


Feeding the beast
