First direct flight from US to Greenland since 2008 lands on Trump's birthday
NUUK, Greenland (AP) — The first direct flight from the U.S. to Greenland by an American airline landed in the capital city of Nuuk on Saturday. The United Airlines-operated Boeing 737 Max 8 departed from Newark International Airport in New Jersey at 11:31 a.m. EDT (1531 GMT) and arrived a little over 4 hours later, at 6:39 p.m. local time (1939 GMT), according to the flight-tracking website FlightAware. A seat cost roughly $1,200. Saturday's flight marks the first direct passage between the U.S. and the Arctic Island for nearly 20 years. In 2007, Air Greenland launched a route between Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport and Kangerlussuaq Airport, some 315 kilometers (196 miles) north of Nuuk. It was scrapped the following year due to cost. The United Airlines flight took place on U.S. President Donald Trump's 79th birthday, which was being celebrated in Washington with a controversial military parade that's part of the Army's long-planned 250th anniversary celebration. Trump has repeatedly said he seeks control of Greenland, a strategic Arctic island that's a semi-autonomous territory of Denmark, and has not ruled out military force. The governments of Denmark, a NATO ally, and Greenland have said it is not for sale and condemned reports of the U.S. stepping up intelligence gathering on the mineral-rich island. United announced the flight in October, before Trump was re-elected. It was scheduled for 2025 to take advantage of the new Nuuk airport, which opened in late November and features a larger runway for bigger jets. 'United will be the only carrier to connect the U.S. directly to Nuuk — the northernmost capital in the world, providing a gateway to world-class hiking and fascinating wildlife under the summer's midnight sun,' the company said in a statement at the time. Saturday's flight kicked off the airline's twice weekly seasonal service, from June to September, between Newark and Nuuk. The plane has around 165 seats. Previously, travelers had to take a layover in Iceland or Copenhagen, Denmark, before flying to Greenland. The new flight is beneficial for the island's business and residents, according to Greenland government minister Naaja Nathanielsen. Tourists will spend money at local businesses, and Greenlanders themselves will now be able to travel to the U.S. more easily, Nathanielsen, the minister for business, mineral resources, energy, justice and gender equality, told Danish broadcaster DR. The route is also an important part of diversifying the island's economy, she said. Fishing produces about 90% of Greenland's exports. Monday Mornings The latest local business news and a lookahead to the coming week. Tourism is increasingly important. More than 96,000 international passengers traveled through the country's airports in 2023, up 28% from 2015. Visit Greenland echoed Nathanielsen's comments. The government's tourism agency did not have projections on how much money the new flights would bring to the island. 'We do know that flights can bring in much more than just dollars, and we expect it to have a positive impact — both for the society and travellers,' Tanny Por, Visit Greenland's head of international relations, told The Associated Press in an email. __ Associated Press writer Stefanie Dazio in Berlin contributed to this report.

PM Modi's visit to Cyprus, Canada, Croatia to strengthen India's growing global engagement, fortify partnerships
New Delhi [India], June 14 (ANI): Prime Minister Narendra Modi will embark on a three-nation tour from June 15 to 19, covering Cyprus, Canada, and Croatia, in a major diplomatic outreach spanning the Mediterranean, North America, and Eastern Europe. At the invitation of Cyprus President Nikos Christodoulides, PM Modi will pay an official visit to the country on June 15-16. This marks the first visit by an Indian Prime Minister to Cyprus since 2002, and only the third since India's independence. The visit highlights India's strategic pivot towards the India-Middle East-Europe Corridor (IMEC) -- a transformative connectivity initiative aimed at boosting regional cooperation in trade, energy, and digital infrastructure. While in Nicosia, the Prime Minister will hold high-level bilateral talks with President Christodoulides. Discussions are expected to focus on strengthening defence and maritime cooperation, expanding energy and infrastructure investments and enhancing academic and cultural exchanges. The two countries are also expected to sign new bilateral agreements, including on digital governance and climate action. PM Modi will also address a business forum in Limassol, where he will invite industry leaders to explore new opportunities in India's rapidly growing economy. India and Cyprus share a deep-rooted partnership based on shared values of democracy, rule of law, and a commitment to multilateralism. The visit is set to reaffirm these bonds and deepen India's engagement with the European Union's eastern Mediterranean flank. Following Cyprus, PM Modi will head to Canada to participate in the G7 Summit (June 15-17), where India will contribute to key discussions on global challenges, including climate change, economic security, technology, and geopolitics. On his return journey, the Prime Minister will visit Croatia. This will be the first ever visit by an Indian Prime Minister to Croatia, marking an important milestone in the bilateral relationship. Prime Minister will hold bilateral discussions with Prime Minister Andrej Plenkovic and meet the President of Croatia Zoran Milanovic. The visit to Croatia will also underscore India's commitment to further strengthening its engagement with partners in the European Union. This high-level tour is seen as a reflection of India's expanding global footprint and commitment to forging diversified strategic partnerships. (ANI)
