This is in Greenland. Nuuk is the Capital of Greenland. I have been following the expansion project of the Nuuk airport, once only served by regional ATR propjets. Now they’ve hit the big time… I’m tempted to go there, just for the occasion. Excuse being, to see the aurora? ---

I watched a travel blogger who was on the inaugural flight. I’m not sure if they will see Iceland levels of tourist growth, but it’s certainly an opportunity for them.
