Flying the Air Greenland A330neo home!

In this video we head to Toulouse to meet Air Greenland’s brand new A330-800neo “Tuukkaq”. We join for the delivery ceremony at the Airbus Delivery Centre and then fly the beautiful red airplane on its ferry flight from Toulouse (TLS) to Kangerlussuaq (SFJ). Along the way we take an up close look at the new Premium cabin and economy class, we take part in the delivery ceremony, we chat with @qsgreenland about Greenlandic pronunciation, we talk to the pilots about some of the new features and particularities of the A330neo, we listen to some music by Greenlandic musician Andachan and see a traditional Greenlandic mask dance, and we hear from CEO Jacob Nitter Sørensen about why this was such an important and emotional moment for Greenland and its airline.

We also have a special guest appearance in this one by @JoshCahill who gives us his thoughts as the only human as of that day to have been on all the A330-800neo’s of the world. A very fun couple of days in Toulouse and Kangerlussuaq, full of great views of red engines and icy landscapes and much much more – join us!
