Fleet
Air Greenland (IATA: GL, ICAO: GRL) has served as Greenland's primary airline since its establishment in 1960. Based at Nuuk Airport, the airline operates a unique mixed fleet tailored to Arctic conditions and remote community access.
The network spans domestic routes connecting Greenland's settlements-many accessible only by air-alongside international services to Denmark and seasonal routes to other Nordic destinations. This dual role makes Air Greenland essential infrastructure for both local connectivity and tourism access to the Arctic region.
The fleet combines wide-body Airbus A330 aircraft for longer international routes with De Havilland Canada Dash 8 turboprops and Beechcraft 200 twin-engine aircraft optimized for short-field operations in remote Arctic locations. This composition reflects the operational demands of Greenland's geography and scattered population centers.
