Air Greenland announced this week that it will operate a weekly flight between Nuuk and Iqaluit starting in the summer of 2024. Sorensen said Air Greenland is open to maintaining the route past October if justified by demand. A regular air link was established in 2012 with expectations that increases in Arctic tourism and the resource sector would drive interest. Air Greenland said in a statement this week that the announced route stems from the 2022 agreement. “In it, the countries want to increase cooperation in the areas of culture, education, fisheries and green energy and, last but not least, to pave the way for better mobility,” Air Greenland said.
