Air Greenland flies 7hr52min nonstop on Dash 8

In recent days Air Greenland took Copenhagen service to a whole new level:

• On Sunday, April 19, 2020, Air Greenland operated a 7hr25min nonstop flight from Nuuk to Copenhagen
• On Monday, April 20, 2020, Air Greenland operated a 7hr52min nonstop flight from Copenhagen to Nuuk

The flight was operated by a 23 year old Dash 8-200 with the registration code OY-GRP. The 2,200+ mile flight overflew Denmark, Norway, the Shetland Islands, the Faroe Islands, and Iceland. In the event of an emergency, they had plenty of diversion airports, including Stavanger, Vagar, Egilsstadir, Keflavik, and Kulusuk.

Flew basically with minimal payload, and a small aircraft like that has plenty of diversion airports.

Looks like the crew swopped at keflavik

Im presuming no IFE onthat aircraft

The crew usually changes at KEF but for these 2 flights there was no stop due to the light loads.
