Air Greenland used to fly a B-757 to Narsarsuaq which has a 6000 ft runway, im not sure whether the A330 can land there as well.

I believe Air Greenland tried service to BWI to no avail. I never understood why they chose BWI, unless the idea was to interline with WN.

IMO, for any chance of success with service to the US, Air Greenland would need to interline with one of the big three US Airlines. It could be UA in Newark, DL at JFK or AA/B6 at JFK.

The AirPort at Thule Can easily handle this aircraft and actually does. The Flight time is approx. an hour longer from Copenhagen.

That is definitely a mistake with the seat recline - those 'business class' seats are the exact same as Singapore Airline's premium economy - identical frame/bones of the seat.
