Air Greenland has taken delivery of its first
Airbus A330-800 aircraft.
The airline’s A330neo, which has 42 Premium class and 263 Economy class seats,
will replace previous generation aircraft in the company’s fleet,
reducing operating costs and improving environmental efficiency, while
offering an improved passenger experience.
Air Greenland will first
deploy the A330neo between the arctic island and Denmark, adding
North American and European routes at a later date.
Powered by Rolls-Royce Trent 7000 engines, the
A330neo features the Airspace cabin, providing
passengers with more personal space, larger overhead bins, a new
lighting system, and the ability to offer the latest in-flight
entertainment systems and full connectivity.
The A330-800 has a range of 8,150 nm / 15,094 km non-stop.
Air Greenland has also firmed up an agreement with Airbus on
Flight Hour Services (FHS) covering component supply and
maintenance services.
Based on a circular economy model and carbon
footprint reduction the FHS offers more sustainability
throughout the aircraft’s life cycle.
At the end of October, the A330 Family
had registered a total of over 1,700 firm orders of which 275 are
A330neos from 24 customers.
