Air Greenland has taken delivery of an A330-800 widebody aircraft, becoming the latest operator of the type. 

The A330neo will replace previous generation aircraft in the carrier’s fleet, reducing its operating costs and improving environmental efficiency. The A330neo will accommodate 305 passengers, featuring 42 Premium class seats and 263 Economy class seats.

The delivery flight of this aircraft will also be powered by a 30% blend of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), underlining Air Greenland’s commitment to sustainability.

The carrier has also firmed up an agreement with Airbus on Flight Hour Services (FHS) covering component supply and maintenance services, a service under which more than 1,200 aircraft worldwide are contracted.

The A330neo is due to be deployed between Greenland and Denmark, adding North American and European routes at a later date.
