Sinopsis
Helicopters are a lifeline in Greenland. Of up to 70 inhabited towns and settlements only 13 have runways for airplanes, leaving transportation to the vast majority of the country up to the fleet of helicopters that create a highway in the sky.
Out in the settlements, the heliports or helistop is simply a flat area in the terrain, and luggage arrives by ATV or snowmobile. Adaptations like this are key to keeping Greenland connected.
In addition to commercial routes, Air Greenland also provides helicopter charter services in connection with mining exploration, documentary and movie filming, special interest photography, as well as for Search and Rescue missions, when needed.
With so much responsibility in Greenland, one can easily see why Greenland Air proudly consider its helicopter pilots among the most amazing in the world.
We honor all the brave Greenland Air pilots and staff on the 21st of June and hope that you will appreciate our selection of photos. on the 21st of June
