My only recollection of service between the U.S. and Greenland was the SAS service LAX-CPH with an intermediate stop at SFJ (Sondrestromfjord, a military airbase), in the piston and early DC8 days. Once Denmark gained route access to Seattle, the flights were routed LAX-SEA-CPH.
SFJ is still capable of handling large airplanes, along with Nuuk and Narsarsuaq, according to Wikipedia. Bob Distler From: Karl L.

It’s Not Ready for Them United must not be too disappointed since they plan to bring the flight back next summer. What was the earlier US-Greenland service? If it was mentioned in the article I missed it. -- Karl On Sep 29, 2025, at 6:29 PM, Jack Keady via Mifnet <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > wrote: keady- did UA do a good check of the weather? wjhy did that earier US-Greenland service fail Sent: Monday, September 29, 2025 at 06:07:34 PM PDT Subject: Americans Think They’re Ready for Greenland.
