Air Greenland launches Greenland Handling ground services subsidiary

Air Greenland spun off its ground handling activities into a new subsidiary called Greenland Handling, which began operations on 15 October and employed more than 140 staff at launch.

Greenland Handling provides passenger, aircraft and cargo handling at Nuuk and Ilulissat airports and is responsible for passenger handling in Qaqortoq, Sisimiut and Upernavik, with staff initially distributed across Nuuk, Ilulissat and Qaqortoq.

The spin‑off was created in response to Greenland airport infrastructure expansion and expected flight traffic growth and aims to separate flight operations from ground handling organisationally.
