Air Greenland’s Final Flight of the A330-200 Over Nuuk

Date:

On the morning of April 19th, 2021, Air Greenland made its final flight of the Airbus A330-200 over Nuuk, Greenland. The aircraft, which had been in service with the airline since 2010, was given a special send-off as it made its final journey over the city.

The Airbus A330-200 was the first wide-body aircraft to be operated by Air Greenland and was used to service both domestic and international routes. It was the largest aircraft in the airline’s fleet and could accommodate up to 300 passengers. The aircraft was also used for cargo operations, carrying goods from Greenland to Europe and North America.

The final flight of the A330-200 was a special event for Air Greenland, as the aircraft had been a part of the airline’s fleet for over a decade. The flight departed from Nuuk Airport and flew over the city of Nuuk, giving passengers and locals a chance to say goodbye to the aircraft. The flight was also streamed live on social media, allowing people from around the world to join in the celebration.

The Airbus A330-200 will be replaced by the Boeing 737 MAX 8, which is a smaller aircraft with a capacity of up to 189 passengers. While the A330-200 was a reliable and efficient aircraft, the 737 MAX 8 offers improved fuel efficiency and lower operating costs.

The retirement of the A330-200 marks the end of an era for Air Greenland, as the aircraft had been a part of its fleet for over a decade. While it may be gone, its legacy will live on in the memories of those who flew on it and those who watched it make its final journey over Nuuk.
