GREENLAND. Today’s selection, in association with Duty Free Global, may represent one of the very few stories to have featured on our site down the years from Greenland, an autonomous territory (so get your nasty mitts off, Donald Trump) of the Kingdom of Denmark. But the images are surely among the most breathtaking in our entire archive.
Qaqortoq Airport, under the auspices of Greenland Airports, opened yesterday (16 April), becoming a new gateway to the region, strengthening connectivity and creating new opportunities for travel, business and tourism, Greenland Airports noted.
“A new chapter in Greenland’s aviation infrastructure begins today,” Greenland Airports said.
“Opening Qaqortoq Airport is a major step for South Greenland and for Greenland as a whole,” commented Greenland Airports CEO Jens Lauridsen.
“For the first time, it will be possible to travel directly to Qaqortoq, creating new opportunities for residents, businesses and visitors.”
“Qaqortoq Airport represents a significant investment in connectivity, accessibility and future development. It has been a complex and demanding project, made possible by the dedicated efforts of our employees and partners,” Lauridsen added. ✈
