Boeing B757

Greenland Air’s Boeing B757-236 was purchased in April 1998 and started out in competition with SAS. In actual fact, Greenland Air’s Boeing 757 and the new flight schedule were such a great success, that SAS threw in the towel in 2002 and stopped flying to Greenland. Air Greenland’s Boeing 757 is to be sold in 2010.
