Greenland Express (Aalborg) has temporarily suspended operations with immediate effect. Denmark's check-in.dk aviation portal states the decision to suspend flights will allow the carrier time to find a new investor and a new aircraft - possibly an A320-200, capable of operating flights from Denmark to Greenland non-stop.
"It is with deep regret we have to announce that Greenland Express Air halts all flight operations in our schedule with immediate effect. We expect this halt to be temporary. However, at this time we are not able to announce an exact date for starting flight operations again," the Danish carrier said in a statement.
CEO Gert Brask said the stop in Reykjavik Keflavik on flights between Copenhagen Kastrup and Kangerlussuaq in Greenland had resulted in additional unforeseen costs being incurred. The downtime would allow the airline to not only source new funding, but also revamp its booking engine and website Brask said.
Until now, Greenland Express had used a Fokker 100 sourced from Dutch operator, Denim Air ACMI (Amsterdam Schiphol), to operate the flights.
