Air Greenland - A330 200 - Economy - Kangerlussuaq (SFJ) to Copenhagen (CPH) | TRIP REPORT
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 30 ก.ค. 2024
- Air Greenland is the flag carrier airline of Greenland owned by the Greenlandic Government. The airline is over 60 years old and currently has a fleet of 32 aircraft including a single A330 used for transatlantic and United States military charter flights. Kangerlussuaq is home to just 508 people, but it acts as a feeder airport to smaller towns that don't have long runways. Flights to heliports in the remote settlements are operated on contract with the government of Greenland.
The airline is a unique way to visit the Arctic, and if you're looking for an adventure I highly suggest traveling North instead of South on your next vacation. Also as of December 2022 the Air Greenland A330neo has entered its fleet!

Nice review, Quinton 👌. Glad to see you uploading videos again. Hope we'll see more this summer. Have a good summer.
I appreciate that thanks! I'm really trying to get some more out soon
....I need that souvenir. :D What an interesting looking place.
I noticed something interesting while watching the video. People were applauding when the plane landed. The last 3 times I traveled to Puerto Rico, people applauded when the plane landed. They did it again when I flew back to NYC. Interesting that the Danish & Puerto Ricans do the same thing. 😄👏🇩🇰🇵🇷
What a dream journey, Greenland is definitely on our bucket list.
Awesome content, keep it up!
Love it! Thanks for sharing! And as always, the best music to go along! 🕺
I wanna be in norsaq again last time I've been in was decade ago I live in Ilulissat for 14 years I know many people well
Ilulissat is beautiful! You should try to get back up there!
you've been to Greenland.... you're living my biggest dreamm
The A330 in this red livery is really stunning..!!!!
One of the best trip reports of the Air Greenland A330, greetings from Colombia!
Indeed.
The view is really great! Nice video👌
Great vlog! So pleased you showed me your face - very handsome! 😎
Nice video, I wondered why they did not have a covered staircase getting on the plane. I have seen other airports that do when the stairs are used. It is much safer and keeps the rain and snow off you as you get on the jet. Hopefully at the new airport in Nuuk they will.
Beautiful scenery!! Pleasant smooth flight. Sorry the meal was disappointing
Nice review Quintin.😀💙
I always like your trip reports, but this one was especially good. It fed my Greenland obsession! 😂
Great video. Thanks for sharing this 👍
Very nice. Nice A330-200. Very very nice. Please keep keep coming out with more vlogs!!
Thank you for sharing you flight from Greenland. Wow!! It was cold there even in May. But thank you for sharing that population count that was there. it is good there are smaller turbo prop aircraft serving the other small towns that connect to that main city/town with the jet service coming in and out. You made me laugh when you gave a photo of the souvenir portable airplane pillow in red color! It was cute inflated on your table. But the biggest advantage I noticed about your flight is that you had that seat next to you empty!! Nice!! To get the extra space to stretch your legs on a long flight is so important!! Again, nice!!! Weel, again, thanks for sharing your nice flights accompanied with good music.
Soon they will have the A330-800 Neo :)
Thanks for the video tour on an airline I have never even heard of before.
I think you 7/10 is a bit high unless you gave them 3 bonus points for being able to sit alone? Love the tour of the airport terminal and food court. As always, we all appreciate you taking the time to film, edit, add subtitles, and upload it for us.
Thank you! I gave the extra points really for the experience of flying on such a cool airline and the excitement it brought
nice Report Quinton I really love Your videos keep posting
Amazing and unusual trip report. Well done!!! Nice to see your face too!
I really like the livery of the aircraft.
👋Hi there, may I say, this video is awesome & really interesting. I love your filming style from start to finish, as I love seeing that entire travel experience, all the way from check in, to the flight, take off & landing, etc;.
This video is great viewing & the country & outdoor scenery, the cold & snow abound, truly "add" to the entire viewing/flight experience.
The really good music throughout, also adds to the enjoyment of this video. Very nice.
Also, I just love the red planes & seeing Air Greenland approaching slowly @ the airport & seeing the white snow all around it. That lovely red with the white background is just beautiful!
Although I've never set foot in Greenland, I do love the general scenery & even all the snow abound. So wonderful to see. I certainly wouldn't mind going there someday.
My family & I are flying to NW, then onto N Europe soon, so we're really excited & are counting down the days now. I've never experienced seeing much snow, so I know I'm in for a real treat.
Now I just have to check out your many other awesome looking videos.
Thank you for creating & sharing your wonderful videos with we viewers.
Peace✌
I am glad to see you are still producing trip report vids and I like yours because of the musical ambience. Regarding the food, I guess at least it wasn't a bag of rocks; or is that stale pretzels? :-) Not a place everyone travels to but I like the red planes. Looking forward to your next vid. Best!
I agree with you about going there but if there is and/or was a purpose for environmental research and other shared semi-governmental work then I understand. And then some people do live in cold climates in our world. They just do but I do not continue to live in cold climate all the time. Sorry No!!!
@@LMays-cu2hp Ibiza is indeed a better island for me to stay there, too - but at least one time in my life I will visit Greenland!😀
love that airline!!
Love the video😍😍😍
Très intéressant,grand merci pour le partage
May in 2 different worlds… snow and ice to flowers and trees
Yes, indeed.
Awesome video mate i just subscribed, would love to get to Greenland one day
So cool! 😊 Congrats from Brazil.
I love the soundtracks to your videos.
Belíssimo Vídeo Belissima Aeronave ✈👌
Yup I would Love to see Air Greenland A330-200 or there A330-900Neo Aircraft if I where too Visit Greenland hopefully in the upcoming future Awesome Video Man Trip Report is Kool!!!!
Cannot wait to see the new A338neo
your choice of music is brilliant as usual
Dass war sehr schön das Video
Bravo. muchas gracias .
Thanks QFS !!
congrats on 60k :>
Very nice plan
Nice video 📹 💞
Videos are still pure
Greenland is a country with partially independence, it looks like there are dutyfree shop between Denmark and Copenhagen. So if I ever go to Greenland from Copenhagen do I go on the international flights department, or domestic department? And is there border control between Denmark and Greenland, since Greenland is outside Schengen and EU? I am going to Greenland this year. But its from Haugesund (Norway) to Oslo - Keflavik (Iceland) - Nuuk (But its with a small Dash 8 airplane, so I am not going to land at Kangerlussuaq) . I am looking forward to go to Greenland :-D
Got to say this, economy seats looks very old school and thick. But credit to them for introducing mood lighting and updating the IFEs.
They ordered a brand new 330 neo. Seats should be good on the new bird.
The only issue with their A330neo is they crammed a bunch more seats inside, so I imagine it’ll be uncomfortable
Hey, hey, hey there! Let me just say, that there's absolutely nothing wrong with finding great adventure & thrills down South too!
For eg: Southern Europe & the Southern Hemisphere are amazing & very beautiful global regions, so too, are it's wonderful peoples.
The entire world, wherever we choose to go, will happily enlighten, surprise & fulfill something within us & the entire world always has something special & unique to offer to it's visitors.
our beautiful land 🌨
Really wanna fly them someday
Great job Q! Big congrats for the 60k, bet you will reach much more followers soon
Wonderful airlines
Great video. Greenland is beautiful, would love to fly there some day.
Nice
Great trip report, each video keeps getting better and better!
Previously there used to be stainless steel cotlery, but the passengers would "take" them, along with class with the logo of Grønlands fly. That was the name before.
Wow I didn’t know that. I know many people who collect airline’s silverware/dishwater as trophy souvenirs especially from unique airlines so I’m not surprised
Looks like those replacement aircraft can't come fast enough! I know over here in Canada Air North has the same problem. Great service, great food but the jets? Well used to say the least! A220's would be perfect for Air Greenland and even Icelandair since they are about connecting mid-Atlantic island nations with Europe and America...
Yea I won’t think it’s a bad idea for air Greenland to add a few more A330s or A321neo, A220 for flights to European/American cities
Boarding by stairs would suck in this kind of weather
Great job Quinton nice video when are you flying CDG to JFK connecting off the video you made a month ago
Excellent video! Could you start giving local Departure 🛫 and Arrival times. I'm guestimating you arrived in CPH around 10:00 to 11:00pm assuming CPH is 4 hours ahead of local Greenland time(EST + 2?) I'm basing this on the fact that the Inflight Meal appears to be Lunch or Dinner!
everything is cool here...
great report and wonderful video.The camera work and editing is spectacular as usual.Cheers on 60k. Thanks so much for sharing!!!
Nuuk is having its runways lengthened so that the A330 can land there.
Indeed.
@@NicolaW72 I hear they have flight from Canada to Nuuk now
@@drsysop That would be very interesting - former attempts to establish routes to Canada/ US were abandoned many years ago.
For me, looks like this Airbus A330-200 (PW only) is comparing to the Boeing 767-200ER. Cool red airplane!
Flying there in July :)
Thank you very much for this amazing Trip Report!😀👍👍👍 I´m looking forward for your Report from the Inaugural Flight of Air Greenlands new A 330-800!❤
Hello from Greenland
6’3” already? 😱
Just curious, how much was the pillow you bought?
Watching this video gave me the chills - such a desolate place. The tail design of this carrier reminded me a bit of Brussels Airlines, no? When you mentioned Sabena, it clicked: that's why it looks similar?🙂
I live in greenland and I am going to fly with this plane next month
Keep your eye out because you might be on their brand new A330neo!
Amazing
Great flight, it's remembered me about your trip with same flight but from Copenhagen. I'm curious, how can you already in Greenland?
Greenland was fully open to vaccinated travelers in May, I’m not sure if that’s changed yet but hopefully!
There’s a new A330 Neo that’s been ordered by Air Greenland you should check it out when it does it’s mainden flight
You make really great trip reports! Btw what does QFS mean?
Quintin Soloviev. F must be his middle name initial
My full name! Quintin Fillmore Soloviev
they are not blowing snow off the wing they are "deicing" the aircraft.
We didn't deice until taxxing across the airport to the military pad. At the gate during boarding they were air-blowing snow off the aircraft
Nice video. Did you stay overnight in Greenland, or just a turnaround flight?
Thank you! I spent a night in Nuuk and a night in Ilulissat
Those seats look like they had some of the seat cut out for the IFE, I think that’s what happened
I hate it to if my suitcase is all wet from rain or snow
Awesome video! =D
Nice...cafeteria and then A330 with meal service! That's wazzup! Can't wait to upload trip reports from Europe again in the fall.
- Red
another fantastic report! all love from Qatar ❤❤
Greetings from British Columbia 🇨🇦 Nice photography !! Trip suggestion Air North new service from Toronto Pearson to Whitehorse via Yellowknife. Air North is Yukon's own home airline. Air North very busy at this time of year from YVR with 3 daily nonstops. Whitehorse is booming right now and is Canada's largest city in the Arctic Region with about 32000 people or so. Check it out.
Bye from the wet coast 🤣
I filmed a trip report on Air North back in March up to Whitehorse. Will try to get those uploaded soon!
With such a limited population why did you visit Kangerlussuaq?
I’m surprised that Air Greenland doesn’t have a route to America. Like to New York, Boston or even Washington DC.
In 2008 they attempted weekly flights to Baltimore but (not surprisingly) it failed. The airline has a pipe-dream to operate similarly to Icelandair and shuttle people from North America to Europe via Nuuk and Ilulissat once their new airports are completed.
👍🇬🇱🌱
Qfs! Do you have plans to fly on american airlines Boeing 777-223/ER first class?
@@liflyer0413 how did you know about that? I need to check that out if i see that.
@@liflyer0413 and the other one is madera on 2018.
Was that a URI sticker on the laptop? My daughter is about to start grad school there in Oceanography.
Yes I went to URI last year! That’s awesome it’s an incredible school for all things involving marine life 🌊
@@QFSAviation Great. We’ll see. If you see grad student named Abby, say “hello.”
whatt only 4 hours?? when i was child we flight so long almost 1 day to københavn, this plane is pretty fast
Greenlanders always recline their seats. It's the Icelanders who never recline. Never!
Check your facts… Air Greenland is not the only airline using Kangerlussuaq. But they are dominant. And Norsaq is not only flying to Kangerlussuaq. It is also used from Copenhagen to Pitufik!
What other airlines fly to Kangerlussuaq?
@@liflyer0413 I have resently seen planes from both Iceland Connect and Alsie Express there. Så it is not only Air Greenland. And since when is Wikipedia the only truth?
Hello, xin chao, i from Vietnam
Greenland. If there ever was a misnomer..lol
😀👍
Is this the main airport in Greenland?
In 2024/2025 properly a new main airport in Nuuk...
I'm surprised that they don't serve food on board to the passengers but as long as they got something to serve that's fine
They served it, even though only one meal.
Soon this aircraft will be replaced by a new a330-800. I already saw the first pictures.
Seems to be they were already deicing the plane while boarding
Ahh the old Secret life of Walter Mitty
Love that movie
I immediately thought of that movie too. 😂👍
A classic! I love that movie too 🇬🇱
The claps XD
💙💙😘😘❤❤😍😍🌹🌹
How can I go there I'm in Germany now
They fly nonstop from Copenhagen and Reykjavik so you can connect through either airport
@@QFSAviation and you ask a visa where
@@zerigamestenkih9020 it’s technically within the EU because they’re owned by Denmark. No visa required for Germans 👍
I would like to get a little more actual sound.
Fly to Barrow Alaska sometime please
@@liflyer0413 i cant remember
@@liflyer0413 now I remember
You dont need to trash them, Greenland isn’t a rich country. They offer the best they can
