Flights to Greenland – seasonal ex-North America?

12/9/2012 9:11:15 AM

There was a flight from North America a few years ago — Baltimore airport, to be precise — but it was cancelled after less than a year.

It seemed to me that Air Greenland had chosen poorly, since they ran the flight all through the fall and winter, but finally gave it up as too expensive in the early spring, because not enough people were booking. But who wants to go to Greenland except in the summer?

So, yes, you’ll have to go via Iceland. That’s pretty direct, isn’t it? Not like having to go all the way to Denmark and back. No worse than a typical hub-and-spoke connecting flight in America.

EDITED TO ADD: It seems there is now a summer flight from Iqaluit, Canada to Nuuk. Getting to Iqaluit may be trickier than getting to Reykjavik, though, and you still don’t end up at the Kangerlussuaq central hub.

Yes, you can, but only via Iceland. There are no non-stop or direct flights from the US to Greenland.

To Iceland:

Icelandair serves several US destinations year-round from Reykjavik’s Keflavik International Airport, including:

  • Boston
  • Denver
  • New York-JFK
  • Seattle

Also, these destinations seasonally:

  • Anchorage (summer)
  • Minneapolis (summer)
  • Washington D.C. (summer)
  • Orlando-Sanford (winter)

Also, Delta Airlines flies from New York-JFK to Reykjavik in the summer.

Iceland to Greenland:

From Reykjavik’s Keflavik International Airport, Air Greenland serves Nuuk.

From Reykjavik Airport (primarily a domestic airport), Air Iceland serves these destinations in Greenland:

  • Nuuk
  • Kulusuk Island
  • Neerlerit Inaat

Enjoy your trip!
