This must have been the most emotional flight!! Actually seeing the CEO in tears was emotional to watch. It’s amazing that Greenland is more accessible to the world, but I echo your sentiment, here’s hoping it doesn’t lose its charm and individuality. I wish you and this beautiful country the very best wishes for its exciting future 🎉

[@soulsearcher9530]

That made me emotional! I have never been to Greenland, but I could feel their energy and excitement! This is huge for them! What an honor for you as well. Congratulations to Greenland !

Hi Josh, you have inspired me to join the aviation industry as a pilot. Now I'm a flight student and hope up be able to fly for an airline in some years!

First time watching you, and now I can't stop seeing your videos. As a Dane I love seeing Greenland being closer to independence. When i showed my dad this video, he was amazed. He is currently flying for Ryanair, and loves to see this also.

[@marcusd4366]

Thanks!

[@matushie]

Amazing video Josh! I don't comment very often but I remember when I was 9 years old I first thought about visiting Greenland because of its culture, climate and its really hard to pronounce town names! I knew back then that it would be expensive, but all these years later I still haven't went but this video made me and I think everyone else watching this video feel that we were all there together on this special occasion! Congratulations for sharing this with us!

[@paullambert8701]

When I was 9, the town names were easy to pronounce? Like you I have always been fascinated by Greenland. Now it will be easier to get there.

What a wonderful historic moment for Greenland. Also great job with the BBC interview! You nailed it

Tillykke Grønland og Nuuk. Good to know there will hopefully be no more boring sleepovers in Kangerlusuaq, waiting for weather to improve är destination

[@morriskyalo7152]

I thought I was the only one who got so emotional and shed tears until I saw the lovely CEO and also from the comments. I've never been to Greenland but how everyone showed up for such a big day and their excitement clearly tells the importance of this flight flying from Nuuk. Thank you so much for sharing these adventures and many more with us. We love you so much Josh❤❤❤❤❤

[@nas4apps]

Seems to be one of the last capital cities of the world to have a jet - connection to the world abroad - what a beautiful plane too! And what a beautiful people, a beautiful place. All the best to all in Greenland and to all of Air Greenland! Made my bucket list!

great masterpiece, Josh. Thanks for taking us to Nuuk. Followed on FR24!

[@salvacionthompson7640]

Hi Josh! Happy for you to be back flying Air Greenland directly to the Opening of the New Nuuk International Airport! I was with tears in my eyes as I was just in Nuuk , Greenland in August 2024 to celebrate my mileage B- Day! An incredible place to be and finally fulfilled my Bucket List on top of seeing the ANTARCTICA in 2015 to complete the 7th Continent ! It was a wonderful feeling to know that now if ever I go back to Nuuk and fly directly from Copenhagen and no longer via KANGERLUSSUAQ AIRPORT ! Congratulations on this Historic flight ! Thnx for Sharing Indeed! 👍🎈🍷🍾✈️🇦🇺🇵🇭🇬🇧

[@deepakr3214]

Hey Josh, Big fan from Tamilnadu, India. Watching this, I could recall a recent Incident happened in our region. When a place called 'Bodinayakkanur' in the Southernmost part of India was connected with the nearby City named Madurai (via Train), people were seen emotional, clapping their hands and welcoming the Train. The Place Bodinayakkanur and Theni District was left unconnected when Railways Department decided to stop the Metre gauge trains back in 2010. Since then, people had to rely on roads (which consumed lot of time and money) to reach nearby cities. I had seen people crying and embracing the Train, when Railways Department decided to introduce Train (Broad-Gauge) on this route. Yes, this is irrelevant to aviation. But let it be Train or an Aeroplane, these things connect people/region with endless possibilities.

Air Greenland must have cheapened out, as Sam Chui was not seated in the cockpit or having champagne with the managers. Missed a few other avgeeks though.

[@JonathanWinton123]

A fantastic first flight for the A330 to Nuuk. I am very interested to see if they will eventually base the A338 from Nuuk, operating an early morning rotation to say CPH, with a later flight in the day flying to say London? Or whether they will add A320 neos and expand further. It will be interesting to see. Their nearby neighbours in the Faroes have made such a plan work with flights even to the USA. We shall see. Thanks so much for bringing us this amazing video Josh. I've been looking forward to this one for a while.

[@jonathanscott550]

This was an amazing video Josh. Greenland opening up to tourism has it pluses and negatives. It's a small population Island of approx. 58,500 people. Can it sustain thousands of tourists or hundreds to be realistic for now. The infrastructure of this Island/Country will need to build bigger, but at what cost to the beauty of this place. This will be something for sure to keep an eye on seeing how Greenland develops and fits herself into a growing modern world.

[@havenisse2009]

Absolutely, and Greenland already has a huuuge issue with waste management. Pretty much nothing is recycled, just dumped outside the city. The country needs to invest in waste handling, and learn from Denmark.

Çongratulations Kalaallit Nunaat! It's so great that you're now connected directly to Nuuk, though Kangerlussuaq also had it's charm. I landed there in 1975 on my first flight to Narsaq. We stayed 4 days due to snowstorm in the south ... Narsarsuaq. Saw my first reindeers, froze almost my nose off.

[@sebinamuwanga]

It's a great moment for Greenland. What I don't understand is why they have a 2200m runway. They have a lot of land and could have gone for more. Thanks for the video, Josh.

[@worldofriloh404]

If you look at a map over the airport it is clear that they dont have a lot of room to wiggle with. On top of that the weather around the airport is notoriously known for being very challenging to land in because of the mountains around the city.

[@bardo0007]

@@worldofriloh404 I am sure they can land a 747 if they really want to build a big runway

[@sebinamuwanga]

@@worldofriloh404 Thanks but that is exactly the point. With all the land available, did they have to construct the airport in that region? The 2200m runway is okay for the 330 neo but may restrict the operations of other heavies.

[@Mike-zx1kx]

@@sebinamuwanga Please remember that the inland icesheet takes up most of the nation. Most of the coastline are mountainous. This runway were a piece of work in itself and not done "overnight". Maybe you have access to a map or can use flightradar24. Look at where airport are placed. . It had to be close to the capital itself so that people can get to it even if weather is harsh, so they do not strand at the airport for days because of bad weather. You can find video´s of the building of the runway here on YT. It have taken years even with a dedicated effort.
