Air Greenland is a public limited company, 100% owned by the Greenland Self-Government.

 

Air Greenland's management consists of six items. The company's executive board includes the CEO, CFO, commercial director, technical director, director of aircraft operations and director of HR.

 

The Board of Directors hires the CEO, who hires for the remaining five directorships.

The board also consists of nine posts, where six of the members are appointed by the Greenland Self-Government, and three are appointed by the employees.

 

The Board of Directors is appointed annually at an ordinary general meeting. Our remuneration rates for board work follow the applicable rates set by Naalakkersuisut.
