Thanks for sharing such a momentous video, congratulations to Nuuk! Through the AG live cameras I've been watching this construction for a year now and it's a wonderful day for all concerned. Thanks!
So amazing to see this project finally come to fruition and give Nuuk a proper International airport and gateway to the nation! Hope the Iqaluit-Nuuk flights next year go more smoothly than the 2024 run! Congrats from Canada!
A great day for Greenland. I've been following the construction of the new terminal and runway - quite a feat of engineering in those often freezing weather conditions.
@@VD-oq8co We're going on Christmas holiday on December 19th to Denmark, and we're going to Manchester, England, to see Manchester United play against Newcastle. When we leave, I’ll make sure to film the terminal.
Congratulations! Exciting to see the first arrival after all the hard work in freezing weather, have been following on YT from the UK, well done everyone 🎉 🇬🇧
Atm looks like SAS, United airlines and Jettime will start flying to Nuuk with 737s and A320s. Not sure about Icelandair if they will step up to 737max or go on with Dash-8.
Nuuk has tremendous potential. I can imagine one can get 365days of skiing there on a north face at the least. Hope to see the city and local economy grow immensely in decades ahead
I mean tons of skiers would flock there to ski in near 24/7 sunlight. Would require some road work of course but that would be a boon for the local population I can imagine. Perfectly situated between Europe and North America for both markets
Yes, I think so. I watched it live, and it was something like -5c. The aircraft was due out again later in the day, so spraying water all over it was not the best idea.
Hi Palu -- I'm a reporter with CBC in Nunavut (Canada's public broadcaster). Would it be possible we use this video -- with credit of you taking it? Iqaluit and Nuuk have direct flights, so an expansion to the airport is of interest to us in Nunavut!
@@paluhansen2452 So sorry, just seeing this message now. And apologies for the typo in your name, that was a mistake that shouldn't have happened, very sorry about that. We appreciate you sharing this footage of this historic moment with us, and also for tuning into our news.
I´m a little bit surprised that aircrafts are still stopping on the ground and not connected to the terminal, not a very smart solution in those weather conditions?
Meanwhile plenty of airports in Europe mandate that airlines use the jet bridges, causing increased turnaround times and delays. Even in perfect weather conditions.
I can't believe they make such a hype out of this. There is really nothing to do in Nuuk and there is nothing to do in Greenland as well. Why go to places where there's only five sun hours in the winter time, the landscape has no trees and where the yearly average temperature is only five degrees Celsius? In addition to that, as the country is not self-sufficient and everything needs to be imported, it will cost to live there.
We're going on vacation on December 19. I will film the preparations, the terminal, and the flight, so subscribe to my channel!
Thanks for sharing, Greenland made history today!
We are excited for this new chapter in Greenland's aviation history!
There was no pressure for that pilot to make a nice smooth landing. LOL. He nailed it !! Bravo. And congrats NUUK
Air Greenland pilots are very well trained and skilled.

Godt for Grønland og godt for Nuuk.
A great day for Greenland. I've been following the construction of the new terminal and runway - quite a feat of engineering in those often freezing weather conditions.
I have been involved in building the terminal as a concrete worker, and I was one of the few Greenlanders who worked on the construction :D
@@paluhansen2452 Well, you've done a great job. It's a very fine airport.
I haven't seen any videos inside the terminal.

Is Nuuk airport built on permafrost? Because this has become a problem for Kangerlussuaq.
Wow amazing and congratulations! Looking forward for New York - Nuuk flight in june 2025!
June 2025? Amazing! We hope to see you in Nuuk!
Stunning. Beautifully captured.
Congratulations!😃❤👍 Many Happy Landings!🍀🍀🍀

Congratulations Greenland and that was kind of butter landing
WOW cool! It was a funny day in Greenland I think. Great shot of the 1st landing.
@@MovieSpottingBerlin thank you! 🥰
Congratulations to the people of Nuuk
Great take!
Ilaa! 🤩
Congratulations!
I hope you can handle all the tourists coming next summer.
Грандиозно!!! Наблюдаю за строительством и вижу результат .
Their rental car center has a blue car and a red car. I recommend the red one.
Nuuk has tremendous potential. I can imagine one can get 365days of skiing there on a north face at the least. Hope to see the city and local economy grow immensely in decades ahead

big congratulations to Nuuk.
Big day for Greenland. Planning 2025. Congratulations
So Nice. 🙂😎
congratulations 🎉🎉👏👏
Thank you for the congratulations 🎉
Any word if us based carriers will launch service to Nuuk in the future ?
@@eaglerare1273 united airlines, s,a,s. Air greenland 2 other airlines from greenland
@@paluhansen2452 Will you be able to book connecting flights from Europe to US?
@@steinarnielsen8954 i dont know everything is new 😀
😀❤
❤❤❤
History was made!
No water for the water cannon salute? It would be frozen, right?
@@mariano_buitrago it was about -5 celcius nd with the wind chill it was about -11 Celcius 😄
That would have resulted in a SNOW cannon salute - and required a visit to the deicing pad...
Pilluaritsi!
❤
its funny that greenland and their airline have nothing to do with the color green. Awesome footage.
@@jonash6070 yes you are rigt about green, but it is our flag red & white :)
Ila torrak! Pilluaritsi, Nuummiut tamaassi!
Sooo, it was too cold for the salute?
Yes, I think so. I watched it live, and it was something like -5c. The aircraft was due out again later in the day, so spraying water all over it was not the best idea.
Withe wind chill it is -11
Probably.
@@paulkirkland3263 Indeed.

How long is the runway now in Nuuk?
@@gwynn1983 2200meters :)
🇩🇰 🇬🇱 ❤
Why didn't the firefighters throw water on the plane to do the baptism?
@@Nyque___ minus 5 degress on that day and with the windchill minus 12 :)
I was wondering if they were actually going to give a water cannon salute lol.
@@philiproseel3506 too cold 😀
Why is air greenland red?
So you can easily spot planes in the snow.

@@RudydeGroot you think your country is better than greenland?
@@paluhansen2452 No. Definitely not. But I just don't get why people want to go to Greenland.
@@RudydeGroot check visit greenland
@@RudydeGroot or @qsgreenland
A moment of silence for Greenland, who is about be invaded by annoying influencers, UA-camrs, and flag-planting tourists 🙏🏻
Greenland has the option to refuse tourists entry because it's no longer part of the EU.
