Queenstown Airport (ZQN)’s Post

𝗨𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗔𝗶𝗿𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗟𝗮𝘂𝗻𝗰𝗵 𝗗𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗙𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀 𝗕𝗲𝘁𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗬𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗡𝘂𝘂𝗸 𝗶𝗻 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟱 Today, United Airlines announced a new flight route between New York and Nuuk, set to launch in the summer of 2025. For the first time ever, a U.S. airline will offer direct flights to Greenland, with twice-weekly service during the high season (June to September). This is great news for travelers from North America, who can now more easily access not only Greenland’s capital but also the vast and diverse regions beyond. From Nuuk, travelers will have seamless connections to explore all of Greenland. With New York as a major hub in North America, this new route makes it easier for travelers across the U.S. to reach Greenland. Similarly, Nuuk’s newly expanded international airport is set to become the gateway to all of Greenland: “The opening of Nuuk’s International Airport is a historic moment for Greenland. It’s a game-changer that international jet planes can now fly directly into the nation’s capital,” says Anne Nivíka Grødem, CEO of Visit Greenland. As Greenland continues to balance tourism growth with community well-being, Anne Nivíka Grødem emphasizes the benefits that this increased accessibility will bring to the entire country: “Tourism in Greenland is about more than just our main destinations. We believe it should benefit all of Greenland, and we encourage travelers to discover the hidden treasures of our island, beyond our main tourism hubs. We invite you to experience the Great Nature of Greenland and be prepared for an adventure!” This new flight route brings Greenland closer than ever to the world, offering travelers from the U.S. the opportunity to experience not just Nuuk, but the full spectrum of Greenland's unique landscapes and communities.

Will this summer bring big business for tourism? ☀️ According to a recent survey by Tourism Industry Aotearoa (2024), 84% of tourism businesses are feeling optimistic about the upcoming months.

Business Aviation comes in many shapes and sizes, and serves a multitude of purposes. Here, Felipe Reisch highlights how it connects leisure travelers to Africa’s vast and remote tourism hotspots and simultaneously boosts local economies. - “Each of the clients delivered by air into these areas will generate substantial income for the community during their stay” - Torben Rune - This is significant, since "tourism has the potential to generate connections with additional industries including farming, fishing, produce, etc., and it is needed and used in many underdeveloped countries, where it is an important source of revenue" - African Business Aviation Association (AfBAA) - Business Aviation’s role in Africa’s tourism sector is allowing leisure travelers to engage in unique activities not normally accessible through mainstream transportation, and in so doing to "interact with people that would not otherwise have the same opportunities to earn dollars in their remote communities” - Simon Penfold SCENIC AIR SAFARIS Read the story on AvBuyer, here: https://lnkd.in/eUbgxPHq Maria Brabec William Shroll Emma Davey Roxanne Sweazey Lisa DeFrees Steve Champness FLYING Magazine #africa #tourismindustry #privateaviation #businessaviation #generalaviation #africansafari
