Is it possible to fly from the US or Canada to Greenland

Is it possible to fly from the US or Canada to Greenland?
I'm trying to find a flight to Nuuk, Greenland for the Summer but from what I read AirGreenland discontinued it's service from Baltimore, Maryland. How would one fly from the US or Canada to Nuuk, Greenland?

There used to be a flight between Iqaluit,Nunavut Territory,Canada (which you can fly direct to Montreal from)and Nuuk but it was done away with a few years back-there has been pressure to re-establish an air link as the native residents of both areas are "culturally linked"-(and only an hour and a half apart by air)otherwise it looks like a long trip through Copenhagen or maybe Reykjavik(The cost of flights to Reykjavik from North America tend to be sky-high;no pun intended-I looked into this last year as I was considering a fishing trip there).The service from Iqaluit to Nuuk was tentatively scheduled to restart in June 2010 but Air Greenland pulled the plug on the idea-maybe keep an eye on that ...there are small Canadian operators and charter companies that haul cargo between the two (Iqaluit & Nuuk) but I don't know if they accept passengers at all.
