Airline/Aviation |
This striking original aviation poster is likely from the 1980s, issued by Grønlandsfly (Greenlandair), Greenland's former national airline. It features a captivating image of a gyrfalcon, the largest and most powerful falcon in the world, native to the Arctic. The clever slogan “Outfly me…” boldly compares the airline’s speed and reliability to the unmatched flight of this apex predator—delivering a message of strength, speed, and confidence in Greenlandic skies.
Founded in 1960, Grønlandsfly was Greenland's primary domestic airline, providing essential air connections between towns, settlements, and remote outposts across the vast Arctic landscape. Operating a unique mix of fixed-wing aircraft and helicopters, the airline was a vital lifeline in a region where traditional infrastructure is limited. In 2002, Grønlandsfly rebranded as Air Greenland, which continues to serve as the country’s flagship carrier.
In excellent condition. Clean surface with strong colors. No major defects. Some minor natural surface texture consistent with age. A superb and rare piece of Greenlandic aviation history—would look fantastic framed.
