The international outputs of the Nuuk airport, the capital of Greenland, were temporarily suspended due to security, due to the lack of training of sufficient staff, the Danish transport authority announced Wednesday. A planned flight for New York was canceled at 9:00 am in the morning and another delimited by Billund, Denmark, at 11:50 am, according to the flight program available on the air operator site of the airports of Greenland.
International exits “temporarily suspend, until security personnel receive the necessary training and the airport can comply with their own procedures and security plan,” he added, without specifying their nature. According to the authority, the continuing education of the personnel responsible for controlling international travelers does not fully meet the requirements in force, said the airports of Greenland.
Long Haul since November
According to the Danish transport authority, interior flights are maintained, at their destination and from the airports of Greenland. It depends on Greenland airports to inform the authority when Nuuk airport safety can be guaranteed again, said Anders Windfeldt.
Since November, Nuuk airport has been the host of Long-Haul, which brings Arctic Island to the rest of the world. A direct flight connects Nuuk to New York twice a week.
