The airline Icelandair has signed a co-operation agreement with both Air Greenland and Atlantic Airways. The co-operation will help strengthen air connections in the Arctic.
It was during the Arctic Circle Assembly in Reykjavik last week that the Icelandic airline announced the signing of the agreement with the other airlines. Through the agreement, the airlines will be able to offer better connections between Greenland and the Faroe Islands, as well as to Europe and North America.
– This historic co-operation agreement is a milestone for Air Greenland. By co-operating with Icelandair and Atlantic Airways, we are improving air connections in the Nordic region and the Arctic. Together, we are creating new travel opportunities and strengthening the ties between our communities, from the Faroe Islands and Iceland to Greenland and on to Nunavut in northern Canada. This is an exciting chapter in our endeavour to connect the north of the world like never before,’ says Jacob Nitter Sørensen, CEO of Air Greenland, in a press release.
The new routes are planned to be fully integrated in the first quarter of 2025 for Icelandair and Atlantic Airways, and later in the year for Air Greenland.
