Air Greenland to Replace A330-200ceo with A330-800

(31 Oct 2021) Air Greenland has chosen Airbus’ A330neo widebody aircraft, the A330-800, to replace its ageing Airbus A330-200ceo.

The airline will use the aircraft to link the Arctic island with Denmark from the end of 2022 and beyond.

Air Greenland’s CEO, Jacob Nitter Sørensen, said, “The A330neo is a fundamental part of Air Greenland’s fleet strategy. The new aircraft will, for years to come, offer travellers to and from Greenland an unique inflight experience while leaving the lowest carbon footprint possible. The A330neo is a perfect fit for the very challenging task of providing safe and efficient all year passenger, cargo and freight services to and from Greenland.”

Equipped with an Airspace cabin, the A330neo is powered by the latest Rolls-Royce Trent 7000 engines and features a new wing with increased span and A350-inspired ‘Sharklets’

“We’re pleased to see Air Greenland renew its confidence in the A330 Family and join the growing number of operators who are selecting the A330neo as a logical replacement for their ageing fleets,” said Christian Scherer, Airbus Chief Commercial Officer. “To imagine the airline’s distinctive red livery set against the Arctic’s environment provides some Christmas cheer at the end of a year that has been harsh for our entire industry.”

More on this to come.
