Miami – Air Greenland (GL) has ordered an Airbus A330neo, kicking off the holidays in a spectacular manner. The airline had previously signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) for the aircraft, an Airbus A330-800neo variant, in January 2020.
With the order now firmed up, GL can soon replace Airbus-200ceo aircraft on flights between Kangerlussaq (SFJ) and Copenhagen (CPH).
Some Christmas Cheer
Air Greenland CEO Jacob Nitter Sørensen said “offer travellers to and from Greenland a unique inflight experience while leaving the lowest carbon footprint possible” before adding “passenger, cargo and freight services to and from Greenland.”
The aircraft has enhanced “sharklets” combined with Rolls-Royce Trent 7000 engines, making it environmentally friendly and fuel-efficient.
Airbus Chief Commercial Officer Christian Scherer added that the GL “distinctive red livery set against the Arctic’s environment provides some Christmas cheer at the end of a year that has been harsh for our entire industry.”
The Airbus A330-800neo represents an exciting new and environmentally friendly chapter for GL, connecting Greenland to the world.
