A French A330 MRTT aircraft departed carrying a delivery of Danish fighter planes toward Greenland, accompanied by a Danish Challenger 600, during the 59-minute reporting window from 10:16:49 AM to 11:15:51 AM UTC on January 16, 2026, according to an X post by @FrenchTrackers. The X post specified the A330 MRTT provided the delivery service, with the Challenger 600 presumably carrying support staff. No details on the number of fighter planes, departure location, or arrival timing in Greenland were included in the post. This development follows reports of NATO allied personnel deployments to a remote outpost in Nuuk, including 15 French among 37 total from seven countries, as noted in earlier X posts this morning. No official statements from France, Denmark, or NATO confirmed the aircraft movement during this period. Denmark, which administers Greenland, maintains airbases there, but the purpose of the fighter plane delivery was not stated in the source.
