Information about distruptions

A short while ago, Air Greenland received official confirmation from the Greenland Police that Nuuk Airport has now reopened.

Earlier today, all passengers, staff, and crew members — both in the terminal and on aircraft on the apron — were asked to leave the airport area. Many passengers were welcomed inside Air Greenland’s head office, where they have been waiting for further information.

At 16:15, we were able to inform them that all departures out of Nuuk are cancelled for the remainder of today, as security screening must be re-established and flight crews must comply with mandatory rest time regulations before operating again.

Information for travellers

Domestic passengers:
Check-in staff will first prioritise vulnerable travellers — including the elderly, people with limited mobility, the sick, persons with disabilities, and families with small children — when assigning overnight accommodation.

We therefore ask those passengers to contact the information desk. Other travellers are kindly asked to remain patient while we assist everyone as quickly as possible.

Passengers travelling to Copenhagen:
Please collect your baggage and return when check-in opens at midnight (00:00).
The flight is now scheduled to depart at 03:00.

Air Greenland regrets the inconvenience caused by today’s incident and thanks all travellers for their understanding, patience, and cooperation. We will do our utmost to assist everyone and ensure the best possible outcome for all.
