Dec 20, 2021 (newstodate): Airbus is now in the process of assembling Air Greenland's coming new Transatlantic aircraft, an Airbus A330-800neo.
   The primary fuselage section of the aircraft has been delivered at the Airbus plant at Hamburg marking the start of the assembling process.
   The Airbus A330-800neo has the capacity of lifting up to 257 passengers over a range of 15,090 km compared to 250 passengers on the A330-200, currently operated by Air Greenland, flying up to 13,450 km.
   The coming new aircraft will primarily be operating the route between Denmark and the new airports at Nuuk and Ilulissat as well as opening potentials for new routes between Greenland and North America.
   Earlier slated for delivery by Q4, 2021, the Airbus A330-8000neo for Air Greenland was later rescheduled for delivery by Q4, 2022, in time for the commissioning of the two new Transatlantic airports replacing the current Transatlantic gateway at Kangerlussuaq in 2023.
