Austin to Narsarsuaq
New for summer 2027: twice a week, from May 27, our A321XLR flies nonstop from Austin to Narsarsuaq, at the head of Tunulliarfik Fjord in south Greenland.
“Greenland has been on our list since the day the XLR arrived. South Greenland in June is as far from an Austin summer as you can get in six hours, and nobody else flies there from the United States.”
Sunil Achebe-Grant, Vice President, Network Planning
Flights leave Austin at 7:40 in the morning on Thursdays and Sundays and arrive in the early evening, local time, with the fjord still lit. The return leaves the same afternoon and lands in Austin before midnight.
Narsarsuaq's runway is 6,004 feet. To operate it with the fuel this flight needs, we sell no more than 132 of the 169 seats on board.
