Flying Air Greenland from Kangerlussuaq to Nuuk via Maniitsoq

- Welcome to another trip report!
On August 20, I flew Air Greenland from Kangerlussuaq, GL to Nuuk, GL through Maniitsoq, GL. Nuuk is the capital and largest city in Greenland with over 17,000 residents. Air Greenland (previously known as Greenlandair) is the flag carrier and only airline based in Greenland. They operate a fleet of 32 aircraft and are owned by the Greenlandic Government. Besides running scheduled services and government-contracted flights to most villages in the country, they also support remote research stations and provide charter services for tourists and Greenland's energy and mineral-resource industries along with medivac operations during emergencies. They technically have seven subsidiaries: the airline, hotels, tour operators, a travel agency specialized in Greenlandic tourism, and the Arctic Umiaq Line, an unprofitable but government-subsidized ferry service that I am interested in doing a video on in the near future.
On our way, we had a quick stop in Maniitsoq to drop off and pick up some passengers. Maniitsoq is the 6th largest town in Greenland with 2,670 residents.
I hope you enjoy the video!

I am addicted to the Nuuk Airport live cam at the moment... The poor ground crew spending all day trying to clear the snow just for it to snow again..... :-))
^^ Me too
@@Nooticus Me too. :-)
Me too
Me too!
So am I and only discovered it a few days ago while my regular viewing of Manchester (UK) airport live stream when Nuuk popped up. I love it and the flights to other Greenland airports. Keep it coming please!
I love when you go to more remote or not as known locations like Alaska and Greenland and share your experiences.
I'm glad you enjoy it! In a few weeks I will be uploading flight reports from my trip up to Canada's Northwest Territories... also in March I'm flying up to Alaska for the Iditarod again!
@@QFSAviation Amazing flight, always wanted to go to Greenland...Also, I agree , Air Greenland's livery is beautiful...Are you going to Nunavut in the NWT?
Nunavut is a different province than the NWT. I flew up to Nunavut last year, but in September I flew to Inuvik, NWT
@@QFSAviation I see, although im pretty sure Nunavut is a territory not an official province, but youre right NWT is separate from Nunavut
@@QFSAviation were you scared after the flight attendant threatened you.
That Dash 8 is one nice looking airplane! I too love Air Greenland’s livery.
Greenland is my biggest.dream to visit. I so love Air Greenland livery.
Same i really want to Go there but my Parents only Go to warm beach countrys so i will have to wait until i am 18 years old
I believe the toilet compartment on the Dash 8-200 is right behind the cockpit on the right hand side.
I‘ve flown on the AirGreenland Dash-8 and it is indeed behind the cockpit :)
I've flewn the 737 Jettime for Air Greenland to Narsasuaq. And flewn helicopter to Qaqortoq. Really was an experince
Air Greenland’s livery is perfect!
Wow, those views are gorgeous
💯💯
@Blixem but isn't the weather a lot milder in Nasarsuaq and other points south?
YO i loved this. I just got to seeing it, but I was even thinking about doing this to Greenland and possibly to parts of Alaska as well. This looks fun.
What a great video. You've got a new fan! Great soundtracks in the right places too.
Who can argue against a red airplane? It's a boss looking paint job.
Cute review
Gorgeous views
Thx for sharing
I thought it was dark brown
They painted red because they can clearly see the plane coming during snow.
Fantastic video! Thank you so much for sharing your experience of what it is like fly in Greenland! Looks amazing!!
I was there a week before you. Round trip from KEF though. Dash 8, about 3 hours with 2 or 3 meal services (and bathroom). Super service. We wound up in Kangerlussuak at 02:30 instead of Ilulissat after 2 missed approaches and a hold. They put us in the old barracks for a few hours sleep and we flew to Ilulissat the next morning, arriving after 1 miss and a lengthy hold. These crews are short field and holding pattern pros.
That is a very nice video and fun to watch. I've never been to Greenland but my wife and I flew over it.😃😁😌😊🥶🥶🥶
Considering Nuuk is Greenland's capital I am surprised this is not the major airport in Greenland. Great video again.
That’s because Nuuks runway is too short to land large planes like the A330 which air Greenland has. I think they’re planning on expanding it tho
On a Dash 8-100 and 200 toilette is located in the front beetwen the galley and the cockpit’s door. It is very small but they have 👍🏻
I`ve loved all of your footage from the Greenland videos which highlight the breathtaking beauty of this part of the world. Only Quintin has the photographic skills to do justice to nature`s magic! Thanks so much for sharing your experiences with us.
thanks for another perfect trip Q.......beautiful....:)
Enjoyed every minute of your video. First time I’ve seen a trip report ref Greenland, I’m going to look out for more.
Greenland is so beautiful. I really enjoy your trip reports, especially your Artic travels. Will have to go to Greenland someday.
Greenland is so beautiful, I really enjoyed the views especially on the 1st leg! I gotta try this one day :)
It is definitely one of the coolest places I've been to! I recommend it
Great filming! A really lovely piece.
Excellent trip report from Nuuk
Thank you Mr. Quentin!
With the all perevading whites and blues of Greenland's landscape, Air Greenland's livery stands out so beautifully!
I love your videos man, keep it up!
Nice trip, Nice country and good people. Thanks for sharing.
I first noticed Air Greenland years ago and was immediately struck by its bright red livery. Still loving it, although I must admit I'm a widebody jet guy (Air Greenland flies the Airbus A330).
Stunning scenery of Greenland-time to get a boat-and lets Go Fishing !
Awesome Trip Report Man Keep it up!!!!
Greenland is really a marvelous Country!!! I ‘d like to visit it, one day.... 23 years ago I visit Iceland with my father, wounderfull trip in an another magic Land !!
BTG, all-red Dash-8 is really cool !!!!
The Dash 8 is such a great plane! Reliable and so much fun to travel short to mid distances with
That's awesome that you made a trip report with Air Greenland! One comment:
Music on a trip report is good, but not over the sound of a dash 8 taxiing.
I used to not play music over the taxiing, but it made the length of these videos significantly more, and people don't have time to watch 30+ minute videos.
@@QFSAviation but their are either people who are able to only watch 3min videos and those who are willing to invest on a long video. For the latter demographic I dont think downsizing 10minutes from 30 to 20 would rather have much effect.
@@QFSAviation I have seen travel vlogger with incredibly short videos skyrocket on views, It would not be much risky for you to upload a summary type 3minute video and A whole raw footage like this one on your channel, Might help imo
Akif Ismail that’s actually a great idea, but I’ve been stuck on coming up with a way to make them 5 minutes long without completely cutting them down
Greetings from the US! Livery for the planes is Stellar! Love the Red! You have great video content. You have a good "eye" for showing interesting sites and sounds. Will enjoy watching all your videos. :-)
Love these remote destination videos , thanks really enjoyed it
I’ve been waiting for this! Oh my gosh yes 😍
:D
That wing view is freaking awesome 😍
And that departure was beautiful my friend! keep up the great work!
Ikr! It is amazing up there! Thanks!
@@QFSAviation looks amazing!
Very enjoyable video to watch... thank you!
Thanks for watching! I appreciate it
Nook Harbor Footage is Extremely Beatiful!!!
I know right! It's amazing up there
Fantastic video of a flight most people will never take. Beautifully edited, gorgeous views, and a fascinating airline with a very cool livery. =D
Thanks a lot!
Outstanding views!!
What a stunningly beautiful country Greenland is. I am from Perú so its so different but I would love to come. Thank you for great video. 🇵🇪🦅🇵🇪🦅🇵🇪
bro what how do you not have more subscribers, this is better content than most aviation channels
That’s a great looking plane!
I love flying with Air Greenland ...... and they have the most beautiful A330 better known as Norsaq
Love those red planes! I really want to come to Greenland! The views and the different shots from different seats made it interesting! I love flying!
I recommend it! Greenland is an amazing place
QFS Aviation I am part Icelandic and will be going back to Iceland next summer.I have a lot of family there so maybe I can take a quick trip to Greenland. I see Greenland Air has flights from Iceland!
Great video and, yes, I love Air Greenland’s livery.
Really nice to see remote locations like Greenland , I thought most of Greenland is covered with ice when I flew over it on the way to Toronto , but now I can see the western coast is not like that

Hey you remember when Ben Stiller goes to Nuuk looking for Sean Penn's Character he steps into that small Bar Heliport Post Office..when his dream girl shows in a delusion does the Major Tom gig ..that suddenly gave him the courage to get on the Helicopter with the DWI pilot ..Go Nuuk..
That movie actually inspired me to go to Nuuk!
¡¡¡Buen vídeo!!! Felicitaciones
Superb Video! Big LIKE!
Awesome video!!
One day, I wish can visit this beautiful place. Warm regards from line of Equator - Indonesia
Me to im from indonesia

Great video...
Dash 8s are great. Very quiet. I believe the cabin uses active noise cancellation technology.
So great to fly in such a different airliner!
Scawey
Beautiful - still simply beautiful! :-)
Greenland is Denmarks other heart full og great nature and a strong culture and the warmest heart you could ever meet
The best videos ever are right in your channel
:D
Beautiful planes
Thank you very much again. One day I will be there. :-)
Super Video
Really enjoyable video thanks
Glad you enjoyed it!
I like airplane livery.... It looks so nice..!
Thank you for throwing in the gorgeous views for those of us who may never otherwise see them! Yes I like the livery too because it’s all a vibrant red unlike most airlines who go with white! 👍
I just don’t get why they don’t like filming. It’s free advertising!
@@eyeglasslady9266 I agree! I even reached out to VisitGreenland to see if they wanted a free promotion on this video but they weren't interested due to my "low follower count"... my first Air Greenland video got 70k views though so I can't complain 😊
QFS Aviation Crazy! PS your videos are the best among other things because you add great music. Ambiance! 👍
A nice video, Greenland looks almost alien. :)
First of all absolutely brilliant video. I loved it. If I may offer you a little bit of constructive criticism. Please leave the subtitles on for a little bit longer. I don’t exactly speed read but I couldn’t read to the end. There wasn’t enough time. Thank you very much indeed I look forward to watching the rest of your videos.
Best wishes.
Joseph.
Nicely done! Miss the dash 8s around here.
Thanks! They've been replaced with ATRs down there right?
@@QFSAviation yeah
Fantastic Video
Level with death
Thanks for sharing !
176 000 total I herd
@@heidiscott4363 Thanks a lot. Appreciate !
Really love this video and i have learned how Maniitsoq looks from inside so i can remake it in Roblox Studio :)
I love the size of it
Merci, c'est superbe
For Me The Livery Is Very Beautiful. I Love It Very Much. Very Unique. Same As thenungzo , I Like It When You Go More Remote Places And Share Your Experiance. So Just Wondering That Do You Have A Video Of Going To St Helena??
Air Greenland's livery is very nice. Looks very similar to New York Air.
hi qman. another notification...another great report. why was your bro upset about being there? it looked like a fun trip! thanks for sharing, fly safe my friend.
Thanks! He hated Greenland for some reason... probably the rainy weather :)
I hope to Visit Greenland soon!!!!
The best part is the end...👍👍👍
That s always best
Brautiful Video
Ese país en un futuro no muy importante va tener tremenda importancia cuando allá más inversión en la zona.
Plus I flew on a Bombadier Q100 & Q 300 back then it was Awesome Man!!!!
Thanks QFS !!!
Your next trip should be YUL - YVP on FirstAir! (Montreal to Kuujjuaq).
Manch Vegas agree
@@zachariepoulin2557 It looks like First Air and Canadian North have merged: www.firstair.ca The YUL - YVP flight still operates though.
Manch Vegas yeah I noticed it! (Are you from Yul?)
@@zachariepoulin2557 No. I used to live a few hours away in NH though. I've always wanted to take that flight but it's too expensive. Over 2K RT!
Nice video
Great stuff, Love commuter plane videos . However , I think you twice missed the landing gear moments while sitting next to it :(
Put visiting Greenland on my bucket list.
Kick you off a flight for filming over a bulkhead? Someone was having a bad day.
Red is always nice. It was my mom's favorite color so yes I LIKE the Livery.
I'm glad to hear!
So I watched three videos in order. I wonder why the A330 from CPH doesn’t fly to Nuuk where the people are? I loved the topography of Greenland. Thanks. Reminds me of Nunavut. But the port in Nuuk is first class. Flown many a Dash 8. I see some people referencing Q-200 and Q-300. That doesn’t exist. Its Dash 8-100, Dash 8-200. Dash 8-300. And then the Q-400. Q for quiet. On my phone I have the seat chart for all of them, because unlike you, I have a phobia about sitting next to the props. So Always know which row to avoid, depending on the equipment flying. Watching your drone video. Nice. Thanks for all
@@HollywoodYYZ may one conjecture your reply was more to QFS than to me ?
@@HollywoodYYZ The length of the runway in Nuuk is only 950 m, so much too short for an A 330. They´ve started now to stretch the runway longer in Nuuk and also in Illulisat, but that will be not finished before 2024, so until then all flights into Greenland with the A 330 will go via Kangerlussuaq.
I like the red livery.
I also think Air Baltic should paint at least one of their planes solid in that color they use as trim (that chartreuse like color).
I don't really understand the outdated mentality of flight attendants or the airlines when it comes to filming. If the airline is doing a good job, you aren't being unsafe or causing problems/ being a nuisance to other passengers, why bother the photographer? It is the cheapest PR and advertisement the airlines could get and it is FREE! It is those in the industry that are doing subpar service, (the ones that threaten the photographer), and they don't want to be exposed to the general public. It's a good thing that reviews like yours gives them feedback on their planes and allows them to address these issues and again they don't pay a nickel to get this review! FREE!! Thanks, Quentin for your videos. Your videos are an honest review of what a regular passenger thinks of their service; I appreciate that! Happy Trails!
Waders in Alaska, the flight attendant is thinking about safety first, he doesn’t care about the aim of the camera. He was filming on an emergency door seat, in case of an emergency he’s supposed to open the door quickly
I wouldn't like a camera pushed in my face while I'm working. I may not want my face splattered over the Internet, there's camera's everywhere today. Big Brother is watching us all.
@@valen31490 I hear what you are saying, however, I did state in my comment that if you aren't being unsafe then the attendant needs to lose the Kastopole approach to their passengers. Too many times it is not unsafe or against FAA rules, it is just being a jerk and thinking they have the right to be this way with no accountability for they're inappropriate actions.
@@paulclark4988 You or I may not like it but being in a public area, (in the USA anyway), cameras are a legal reality and 1st amendment rights say it is so. Look at England, China, and many other countries with facial recognition cameras everywhere you go. The days without "big brother" are long gone.
Yes that's so true . I do agree with your first statement that airlines receive enormous publicly from this form of media andAviation Vlogers do a great service to us RUclips viewers. I must admit I do like watching the Cabin Crew strut their stuff in these vids. Having worked for a Australian Airline some years ago I was always surprised how some F/A's mainly the young one's were so surly and thought their #% €¥ didn't stink. I know the first day of their training they are told how special they are for being successful because of the huge number of applications for the position. Also I feel they may think that standing in the aisle while we are seated affords them a cause of authority. It's a bit like being seated in the bosses office while the boss stands. Anyway it was nice having a chat and all the best in beautiful Alaska.
The colour scheme of Air Greenland looks nice and resembles the country's flag. Wonder if they also chose this colour as it stands out against the background should a plane go down in these remote parts.
Its red-white for 2 reasons.
1. Greenland's flag colors
2. If a plane would crash in the snow, it would be recognised earlier when red.
Greenland is beautiful
I'm sure Greenland has a great potential as a tourist destination it looks so beautiful and unspoilt and I'm sure the locals would be greatly welcoming of the extra income and jobs but it would need to be very well managed
I love the Greenland Air livery but I have always thought that the red makes the plane easy to spot should the unthinkable happened 🇬🇱
Mass tourism would destroy this beautiful part of the earth
I remember flying overhead Nuuk years ago, heading back to New Zealand from London (I know right, doesnt sound logical does it!), at 40000 ft and wondering what it must be like, that it would be great to stop off and get a closer look at such a remote place I knew nothing about, and would prob never get to. Problem solved! Thank you 👍😊
we flew over via KLM jet. Nice.
The Air Greenland Dash’s do have a reatroom. It’s on your right hand side, right before the pilot cabin…
this Q re-view is brought to you by orange juice and chips ahoy. I wish I had a more extensive vocabulary to express just how freaking good this video is. On my rating scale it's a 10/10!! I definitely recommend watching it, then hitting the like button and the sub button. extremely well done Quebec Foxtrot Sierra and thanks for sharing!!!
Copenhagen is for sure a LOT busier!! So what if you filmed outside the bulkhead window?
Man U!!!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Nice country!
Esque
12:14 that baby sounds cute 😊
I always find these remote places very attractive to live temporarily.
