Air Greenland - Dash 8 200 - Reykjavík (KEF) to Nuuk (GOH) | TRIP REPORT
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 3 май 2024
- I flew from Iceland to Greenland on the world's longest Dash 8-200 flight (3 hours, 15 minutes)
Air Greenland serves Keflavík International Airport from Nuuk, the capital of Greenland (pop. 19,694). The airline is owned by the Greenlandic Government, and it operates a fleet of 28 aircraft: one A330neo used for transatlantic and charter flights, 9 propeller aircraft primarily serving the domestic network, and 19 helicopters that serve the remote settlements within Greenland and its rugged coastline.
Although Air Greenland's headquarters are in Nuuk, its main hub is located at Kangerlussuaq Airport. This small port city currently has the longest runway and the most reliable weather for the airline's daily jet flight to Copenhagen. This will all change in a few years when Nuuk Airport expands its runway to 6,560ft and constructs a brand new terminal. Concerns about Nuuk's unpredictable and often foggy weather are high, but Greenland wants to put Nuuk on the world map however it can.

What I really like about your videos is how you put yourself in the background and let the journey speak for itself.
I appreciate that Victor thank you 🙏
I fully agree with that observation. The videos are done in such a manner that we see the interesting stuff and the commentary is kept to a minimum. Well done QFS Aviation !
Oh wow that’s really cool that they allowed you into the cockpit.
There is no security check in Greenland that I knew of. We could walk straight out to the plane.
Okay, I'm just going to come right out and say it. This is the most beautifully filmed, edited, and produced video I have ever seen on RUclips. 27 minutes and 42 seconds of absolutely stunning work by QFS Aviation. If this video does not get a million views it would be a travesty. Extremely well done Quebec Foxtrot Sierra, thanks for sharing!!
Man I really appreciate that, thank you for the kind words 🙏 I really try to capture the feeling of the places I visit
You should make a travel review from little Diomedes island (USA) to big Diomedes (Russia)
@@QFSAviation definitely an early contender for video of the year 😁
@@jamani1086 woohoo 🎉
@@QFSAviation 👍
Footage and especially the music are THE BEST - love Quintis reports 🤩
Gorgeously shot video. It never ceases to amaze me how spectacular Greenland is. I’ve ridden my motorcycle up to Goose Bay, Labrador, and the northernmost tip of Newfoundland, but seeing northern Labrador and Greenland by air is high up on my bucket list.
Thank you! Mark, I’m so jealous of you. That road trip from Quebec City up through Labrador and down through Newfoundland, and then across the ferry to Nova Scotia is on the top of my bucket list. It must’ve been an incredible experience taking a motorcycle on the Trans-Labrador highway 🙌
Very nice and kudos to the flight attendant. She seemed like a nice lady. Very very nice. Please keep coming out with more vlogs!!

What beautiful days for flying and sightseeing....thanks for your hard work in bringing this to us!
That was beautiful! I love that you just make the scenery and the journey the centre of the trips, it really immerses the viewer into the video. Well done QFS!
Отличное видео👍 Как хорошо что вам разрешили посетить кабину пилотов и снимать там фото и видео. Класс✈🤝
Happy birthday QFS! 🎉 Hope you have a wonderful birthday celebrating with family and friends! I can officially say weekly QFS is back! Nice video Quintin! Love the air Greenland stuff!!!
I’ve honestly been considering trying them thanks to all the uniqueness of their brand and identity I’ve seen from your videos!
Hey thank you! I hit the big 21! And yes I'm trying to keep the uploads weekly throughout 2024 :)
@@QFSAviation old man lol... wish I could've came to that JETZ flight but sadly I am unable :( I'll catch the next one though!
@@QFSAviationYou’re certainly living life to the fullest! My kids are older than you. Way older, so you can just imagine the geezer I am. But I still travel everywhere 🌎
Many thanks for the magnificent video. I can't imagine the work that must go into making all of them so well done and intensely interesting.
Was enjoying this video to anticipate a future trip to Greenland's capital...Then you get invited up into the cockpit!! 🤯 That must have been awesome! Super jealous. Thank you for the great video.
WOW!!! A Dash 8 flight report ended up being an award winner documentary. I just wanna visit Greenland after watching it 👏😁
Cockpit video, aurora borealis and the small cute Katri vessel at the end 😍
Thanks for the excellent music selection. You got a new suscriber from Argentina
Happy Birthday late Quintin, This video was awesome the music the aurora, everything was awesome and is good to see videos from you again
How exciting ❤
I’m very envious
Thanks 🙏🏼 Sabrina
Great review. I love seeing these remote destinations.
Quintin, is very beautiful video, flight and Greenland are great! Thanks so much 😉👍🏼✈♥️
This was an amazing video! You are the best! Thanks for all your posts!
Wow, there was great hospitality from the Air Greenland flight deck. Lucky you! Incredible footage of Greenland too.
I enjoyed this video very much. Thank you for an excellent production.
Out of all the trip reporters, I feel like yours is always well-shot and engaging.
Oh wow, nice video. I love the end of the video about Nuuk City's quick review 😍
Amazing cockpit view!!! thanks for the video
Love your creativity and style! Great aurora timelapses 👍🏻
Glad you like them! Thanks a lot!
Beautiful flight report. Last year, July 2023, I visited Reykjavik . Liked so much. This video, in the beginning did remind me my trip. Greenland itself is on my agenda to visit. Beautiful and charming northern country. Pilots did allow to make a video of landing from the cockpit. Awesome! Thanks for video. Cheers from Canada
Dude, awesome Views! Many thanks 😊💪👍
All the best to you and looking Forward to See more of your Excellenz Videos. The Background music is awesome. Love it!
Thank you for this wonderful video!
Of all the things you have posted...this is a MASTERPIECE 🎉
Cool flight but those Dash-8 seats for 3 hours … argh. The aurora was a nice touch to the video.
It’s not ideal, but with the empty aisle seat next to me it wasn’t terrible 😁😁
So glad you’re back to consistent uploads. By far my favorite trip report channel. Keep up the great work bro! ✈️
Glad something more than just a snack was served on this over 3 hour flight! And they invited you to the cockpit before landing, wow so cool!
I challenge anyone to find a flight review video with a better final seven minutes. I learn so much about little unknown places around the world here. Thanks for the tour - outstanding.
That was great! Such a unique part of the world. The approach and landing in Nuuk from the cockpit . And the Northern Lights! I’m from the USA. Thanks so much for sharing
Well this was an amazing quality video Quintin! I didn’t realize, so I wish you a belated Happy Birthday! This was so well made and definitely worth watching! Congratulations! I’m sure you enjoyed your stay in Greenland and that part of our world! What a sight! Have a great weekend! Mark in Iowa.
What a lovely coincidence! I was just riding my horse under these wide open prairie skies, enjoying the video and wouldn't ya know it, I just had to turn up the volume at 14:58 Really added to the experience. Even Bella let out a happy snort. Well done, partner!
The scenery in Greenland is beautiful. It was sure spectacular to see the northern lights.
Excellent! Beautifully done! Thank you for NOT using horrible subtitles! ❤
One of your best! My favorite of 2024 hahaha. Great job Quintin.
Breathtaking views from the cockpit over the Greenlandic landscape and at sunset when landing in Nuuk. I was on a cruise in Nuuk in 2018. I really enjoyed the huge country and the way of life of the people. Thank you for this interesting report. Thank you for sharing this interesting report.😁
Thank you for sharing this beautiful flight ! A country I would like to visit one day.
Nice Video, thank you. I like, that you not only show the flight expierence.
What a nice landscape. Unreal beautiful.
This is superb Mr, I like your creativity, in the camera angles. sequence, and choice of background music and natural sounds, really really nice
A great flight report and to make it even more wonderful a cockpit experience wow great service you know your bussiness the scenery was great cheers from jerry
Good video and I loved all the cockpit shots..
The northern lights were a sight to see as well! Beautiful! Excellent quality Quintin! Mark in Iowa.
LOVELY VIEWS!
THANK YOU!
QFS is the best.... wonderful wonderful videos mate and good thing is that you are not a critique like others,you let us enjoy the ride with you in peace and total serenity....
LOVED this vid! And i had no idea that a Dash 8-200 could fly for a 3+hr flight with pax! Brilliant vid.
Epic. (I hate the word because it's over used, but this really is epic). You capture the feel so perfectly, from the Dash 8 to the scenery. Jump seat ride is pretty cool, too!Thanks.
Amazing videos, I agree with Victor, Tango, Kilo!
This was a marvelous video!
I took the Icelandair flight from downtown Reykjavik to Nuuk, it was very nice. enjoyed your video btw!
Once again you wowed me with the video Q! Mentioning the quality and professionalism of editing and the time-lapse usage with the Borealis is an understatement. Thanks a lot for sharing. And I heard it's your birthday - congrats kiddo! The places you visited are too cold for people of my age!😂
Thank you for sharing.😊
Nice review foe this trip.😊
Nice review "for" this flight.
Happy birthday QFS, wishing you a wonderful birthday and a year of good health, happiness and success!
Hello from Brazil!!! Imagine how strange it is to see such a cold place from a tropical country like Brazil... Love it!
Hey bro, any flight you take and they give you the possibility of entering the cabin in the center position will always be a 10/10 flight. This video has been the best in this aspect, the pilot is very intelligent because it is a good promo for the airline, greetings I always watch your videos and you make a very good selection of music
Beautiful views from the cockpit...... the copilot did an outstanding job..... _and I hope you got his digits;)_
Dude that is fucking awesome. Invite from the Captain himself! I've been watching your videos since I discovered you in 2020 and I got to say man, that was cool and unexpected! Keep traveling! And safe travels to you! - Ricardo from San Francisco.
Pretty cool video. Nice and relaxing 👍
Excellent, enjoyable, from North Central Florida, Gainesville, USA 31.01.2024; temp 6C at sunrise here this morning!
The sequence at 18:00 is stunning. Love these kinds of places, def. on the bucket list :D
Excellent!
Wow ~ cockpit access!!! good job bro 👍👍
Pleasant journey.....
Awesome video! 🛬
Great video as usual!
Excellent video.
Great video and a charming city. I love isolated cities , I am From Algeria 🇩🇿❤
The sunset-to-northern lights scene was really spectacular 😮
Ein sehr schöner Film!! Danke
Thanks for the great video. I appreciated the northern lights.
Thanks again
Phenomenal video, friend ❤
This was good, very good thanks well done😊
Wonderful Music!
Круто! Нравится твой канал! Давно смотрю
Show vídeo ! Thanks!
I, with friends of mine, did the flight from Keflavik to Kulusuk in 2014. And then we used a helicopter to cover "the last mile" from Kulusuk to Agmasalik. It was one of the best my journey 🥰
nice video, thanks for posting :)
really really cool video thanks
Great video!
we flew a Dash-8-200 of Icelandair from Keflavik to Ilulissat, also a super trip. Was surprised the plane had a tiny toilet but no running water. The food was less fancy than yours. Another thing that surprised me was the relatively long range a Dash has.
always nice when you are allowed to film the Cockpit!
When I visited Iceland I had a whole day exploring the capital. The city Airport had flights to Greenland for 150e. Shame I was on a schedule as I was tempted to visit even for a day. Amazing place, thoroughly recommend it.
Really cool plane and ride to Nuuk.
Beautiful video 👍🏻
Thank you! Cheers!
(1) thoroughly enjoy your presentations Q and always look forward to the variety. ❤ how they showcase the experience and not necessarily you. 😉👍🏻 (2) I thought the inflight meal looked visually appealing and colorful … sorry the taste/quality didn’t match (3) how awesome was that …to be invited up to the cockpit for final approach and landing!
What a amasing video! I am from Brazil and ex-flight atendant by the now defunkt Varig Brazilian Airline.
nice flight and video
very nice video the best..!
I had a chance to go to Greenland from Iceland in august, didn’t do it. I regret it. So it’s nice to see this video!
Really epic video!
Really nice video! How cool for the cockpit invite! Congrats! I think the baby Dash 8 is a sharp plane, very sporty and tight. And who can argue with a red paint job
The views from the emergency exit window to the engine we're amazing
I've not yet flown this aircraft. But I was fortunate enough many years ago to fly Rocky Mountain Airways Round trip denver to the now closed avon/Vail airport, Which was purpose built for this airline
A teacher of mine arranged for me too fly in the cockpit on the outbound, soo cool!
Keep up the great work
RMA Dash 7, The cool airplane with 4 engines, STOL
Awesome Q, just awesome! If there was an award like oscars, Emmys for trip reports, you win! 🥇
Thank you Rick I appreciate that man!
First time seeing an Iceland to Greenland video being flown!!!
That is awesome. I hope you had a wonderful birthday yesterday.
let me know if you come back - Maybe on the direct flight from Copenhagen ? And i can show you the Flight information center, where we handle all the air traffic flying in our air space.
Great vid again by the way - Hope you enjoyed another trip to my beautifull country.
Great
Так вот ты какой Нуук вблизи!)) Много раз пролетал над ним, выполняя трансатлантические полёты в страны Карибского бассейна. Отличный фильм! Люблю Гренландию за природную красоту и скрытые под вековыми льдами тайны. Awesome. My Respect!
