Connecting Greenland to the world, year-round.

Founded
1960
Headquarters
Nuuk, Greenland
Air Greenland is the national airline of Greenland, providing essential air transport services across one of the world's most remote and challenging environments. Founded in 1960, the carrier operates scheduled passenger and cargo flights linking Greenland's scattered communities to each other and to international destinations. The airline is majority-owned by the Government of Greenland, with minority stakes held by the Danish government and SAS. Given Greenland's vast size and lack of road infrastructure, Air Greenland serves a critical lifeline role, connecting isolated settlements that are otherwise inaccessible by land. Air Greenland operates from its main hub at Nuuk Godthaab Airport and Kangerlussuaq Airport, offering international connections to Copenhagen and charter services to various European destinations. The airline also conducts helicopter operations serving coastal communities and supports search and rescue missions.
Hubs & network
Air Greenland's primary hubs are Nuuk Godthaab Airport (GOH) and Kangerlussuaq Airport (SFJ), which serve as the main gateways for domestic and international routes.
Fleet
Air Greenland operates a mixed fleet including Airbus A330 widebody jets for international routes, Dash 8 turboprops for domestic services, and Sikorsky S-61 and AW139 helicopters for remote community access.
