Hello everyone,i was wondering if anybody on their travels has spotted Air Greenland’s A330 OY-GRN,i think the only place it appears with any sort of regularity is Copenhagen,which i dont think is the best for spotters/photographers,does it operate to the usual sun spots around europe like Malaga/Palma/Alicante etc?

So it’s not the A330, but I understand the Air Greenland 757 has been at CWL this weekend.

So it seems the aicraft does only one sheduled flight, greenland to denmark,it may have been here in Dublin too on a football charter but it could have been their 757 i cant quite remember,anwways i’d certainly hang around in the cold to get a shot if it came in again,brilliant scheme.
It’s the 757 that has visited Dublin on a few occasions, operating for SAS when they have been short of aircraft.

Seen it in Baltimore in July, but I think that route is usually the 757, great colours!

Northing wrong with spotting facilties at CPH! The Flygrillern is one of the more civilised spots to spot and phot, the approaches are relatively clear offering good opportunities too. There’s nothing official of course in the terminal building but airside is ok.

I never fully understood quite how they ended up with a single 757 and single A330 too, it sort of defeats all type commonality logic.
That is a conundrum which I cannot find an easy answer to!
Air Greenland is not a two plane airline. It has three hubs in Greenland where the shortest flight is 25 minutes. It has seventy nine worldwide flights per week and Baltimore is the new scheduled service.
It has a fleet of helicopters as well as DHC-6, DHC-7 and Super King Air aircraft.

So far as I’m aware, the A330’s usual scheduled route is Kangerlussuaq – Copenhagen but it drops into Baltimore every now and again. 😎
I just did the obvious thing and looked at their website 😀
The A330 just does CPH – Kangerlussuaq, whilst the 757 seems to alternate between linking CPH with Narsarsuaq as well as Baltimore with Kangerlussuaq.

Yup, just the one regularly scheduled routing, although I think it varies which destination it serves within Greenland possibly?
Personally I’ve seen it in both CPH and ZRH. I can’t think of any other aircraft that large that operates solely the one service, it is surely unique in Europe?

It visited Manchester on the 22 May 05, boy did I do the 100m to the raised platform in about 9 seconds. It was a charter unfortunatly.

Well, you wouldn’t miss it if you saw would you! It has visited Zurich (tech stop), Grenoble, Manchester, Paris, Strasbourg, Mallorca, Stockholm but its favourite destination is Copenhagen.
