Air Greenland Canceling Baltimore Service

Sorry, Greenland. We totally meant to come visit. But now that Air Greenland has shut down its Baltimore-Kangerlussuaq route, it's gonna be a bit harder to come see you.

Why the change?

The reason for the decision is that the route made a loss in its first season of DKK 15.1 million ($3.2 million) and preliminary figures for 2008 predicted expected losses in the two-digit millions. This is partly due to increased costs for fuel and aircraft rental, but also due to the low dollar rate which has reduced American demand for travel abroad.

Heh. When in doubt, blame the worthless American dollar!
