Aug 19, 2013 (newstodate): The expectations for a short-term boom in oil and mineral exploration in Greenland are dampening.
Anticipating a corresponding growth in demand for air transport in the country, Air Greenland placed an order with Eurocopter in 2011 for delivery of two EC-225 helicopters in 2014.
But - Air Greenland's board has now put the two helicopters up for sale prior to their delivery as several of the oil exploration companies have delayed their plans or pulled out entirely.
