The price of an Air Greenland flight is made up of a combination of elements such as the cost of the flight itself, taxes and surcharges. Some surcharges are imposed by Air Greenland, whilst credit card charges, fuel surcharges and airport taxes are completely outside Air Greenland’s influence although they are included in the total price.
On certain flights, airport taxes are actually higher than the cost of flying the actual stretch. Take this into consideration, if you think flying is expensive.
