The flight is the first time Canadian North spreads its wings internationally and will run Wednesdays from June to October.One Nunavut resident is already looking forward to the simple travel itinerary. Whenever they want to go back, it takes Beveridge and her family at least two days and multiple layovers over thousands of kilometres, usually in Toronto and Reykjavik, Iceland — not to mention the price.

"The new route to Greenland embodies Canadian North's dedication to fostering connectivity and cultural exchange, creating more opportunities for discovery and interaction across the Arctic," reads a news release from Canadian North."I think it's such an important connection between Inuit in Canada and Greenland in terms of just increased cooperation," she said.
