Flying Air Greenland from Kangerlussuaq to Nuuk via Maniitsoq
Welcome to another trip report On August 20, I flew Air Greenland from Kangerlussuaq, GL to Nuuk, GL through Maniitsoq, GL. Nuuk is the capital and largest city in Greenland with over 17, 000 residents. Air Greenland (previously known as Greenlandair) is the flag carrier and only airline based in Greenland. They operate a fleet of 32 aircraft and are owned by the Greenlandic Government. Besides running scheduled services and governmentcontracted flights to most villages in the country, they also support remote research stations and provide charter services for tourists and Greenland s energy and mineralresource industries along with medivac operations during emergencies. They technically have seven subsidiaries: the airline, hotels, tour operators, a travel agency specialized in Greenlandic tourism, and the Arctic Umiaq Line, an unprofitable but governmentsubsidized ferry service that I am interested in doing a video on in the near future. On our way, we had a quick stop in Maniitsoq
