New Direct Flight Route from Aalborg to Nuuk

Starting in June 2025, Aalborg Airport will open a groundbreaking new direct flight route to Nuuk. This is a significant milestone, creating new opportunities for freight, businesses, and private travelers between Denmark and Greenland.

The new route, operated by Ruby Rejser, will offer two flights per week during a three-month trial period, totaling 26 flights. The direct connection between Northern Jutland and Nuuk will provide unprecedented flexibility and open the doors for increased growth and development in Greenland.


Increased flexibility and growth opportunities for businesses
With faster transportation and direct market access, businesses will have new opportunities to optimize their operations.

Thomas Hjort, CEO of Arctic Import, expresses great enthusiasm for the new connection: "This route is going to make a huge difference for Arctic Import. Our colleagues will have more time with customers in Nuuk, and when our Nuuk-based colleagues visit Aalborg, they can spend more time at the office. At the same time, we can deliver goods faster and more efficiently. The direct route will allow us to bring more and better products to Greenland, which will raise the standard of living and drive growth."


New opportunities for the freight industry
This route is not just a win for businesses but also for the freight industry. The reduced transport time opens up the possibility of sending goods that were previously difficult to deliver to Nuuk. This includes perishable products like freshly prepared sushi or dairy products that require quick delivery. The result is new business opportunities, lower prices, and a broader range of products for Greenlandic consumers.


A new product range for Greenland
With the new direct route, Greenland will gain access to a wider and more diverse selection of products. Faster transport times mean that goods, which previously couldn't withstand long delivery times, can now reach the Greenlandic market at more competitive prices.

Thomas Hjort summarizes the expectations:
"Living in Greenland, you have every reason to be excited. We will see better prices, a larger selection of products, and significantly shorter delivery times. This will have a positive impact on everyday life and provide more choices for consumers."

We encourage everyone – businesses, the freight industry, and private travelers – to take part in this exciting trial period. The new direct flight route is just the beginning of a promising development that will strengthen the ties between Denmark and Greenland and bring new opportunities for both nations. We look forward to seeing the positive impact this route will have on both countries.
