Air Greenland has recently acquired two Airbus H225 helicopters to reinforce its search and rescue (SAR) capacity in Greenland, according to KNR. Air Greenland holds a current SAR agreement with the Danish state that runs out in November 2020.

The helicopters have been used previously and have cost a total of DKK 200 million.

A new tender competition for SAR in Greenland is expected to be announced within the next six months.
