Air Greenland's international flights out of Nuuk suspended, leaving some Nunavut passengers stranded

Air Greenland's international flights in and out ofNuuk, Greenland, are temporarily suspended, leaving somepeople from Nunavut stranded.

Greenland Airports'security authorization at Nuuk Airport has been revoked by the Danish Transport Authority, meaningWednesday'sweekly flight to Iqaluit could not leave, according to an announcement on the airline's website.

Assol Kubeisinova, who lives in Iqaluit, is among those stuck in Nuuk.

She's been told there could be a special flight for affected passengers on Friday.

"I only found out two hours before the flight was supposed to take off," Kubeisinova said.

She had checked out of her hotel and wasn't checking her email.

For now, she said, she's waiting it out.

"Oh I do have a few spots that I've been to already and I'm looking forward to going there with a coffeeand a book, and just looking at the ocean," she said.

She also said the passengers on the cancelled flight to Iqaluit were given meal vouchers and taxi vouchers, and were booked into hotels in town.

"That was quite nice that everything was prepared and ready," she said. "I guess it gives me an extra few days to explore the city."

CBC has reached out to Air Greenland and Canadian North, who has a partnership with the route, for interviews.

TheIqaluit to Greenland flights launched earlier this year, in June.

In its post, Air Greenland said itexpects a full resolution by Tuesday.
