Air Greenland has committed to buying or leasing a fleet of Vertical Aerospace’s VX4 eVTOL aircraft from leasing company Avolon as part of an agreement to form a working group to identify local infrastructure and certification requirements for advanced air mobility (AAM) in the region. The airline said it would define the size of its planned XV4 fleet at the conclusion of the working group’s assessment of the scale of the market opportunity.
“In Greenland, we see the effects of climate change every day and, as a company, we want to be at the forefront of the climate revolution,” said Air Greenland CEO Jacob Nitter Sørensen. “The VX4 aircraft will have many uses for Air Greenland and, through our partnership with Avolon, we look forward to welcoming our first travelers onboard in the near future—flying our guests to Ilimanaq Lodge to show the visible impacts that climate change is having on our country and planet.”
