First time in Greenland?
10. June 2026
Greenland’s airports vary in size, facilities and connections.
Some airports handle international routes and larger passenger flows, while others are smaller regional airports connecting towns and settlements across the country. Because of this, services and facilities may vary depending on where you are travelling.
At some airports you will find cafés, shopping, lounges and nearby transport options, while smaller airports may offer fewer facilities.
Before travelling, we recommend checking information about the specific airport you are travelling to or from.

Weather is a natural part of travelling in the Arctic.
Conditions can change quickly — especially during the winter months — and may occasionally affect departure and arrival times. Fog, wind and snow can all influence flight operations in Greenland.
If you are travelling domestically within Greenland or connecting between destinations, it is always a good idea to allow extra flexibility in your travel plans and stay updated on your flight status.
In Greenland, nature decides. Our skilled airport employees are experts at handling ice, snow and challenging weather conditions. However, the weather sometimes has other plans, and when heavy summer fog or winter conditions affect operations, travellers may need a little extra patience.
It is all part of the Arctic charm that we embrace across all our airports.

In Greenland, travelling between towns is usually done by air or sea, as there are no roads connecting towns and settlements across the country.
Domestic travel can therefore look different from what many international travellers are used to. Depending on your route, your journey may include regional flights, helicopter flights or connecting stops along the way.
For many travellers, this also becomes part of the experience of visiting Greenland — travelling through landscapes that are difficult to experience anywhere else in the world.

Transport to and from the airport depends on where you are travelling.
In larger towns, you will often find taxis, public buses or hotel shuttle services, while smaller destinations may have fewer transport options available. In some places, the airport is located close to town and can even be reached on foot.
We recommend checking local transport options before arrival — especially if you are travelling to a smaller destination.
Several airports in Greenland offer free Wi-Fi and seating areas for passengers. Additional services and facilities vary depending on the airport’s size and location.
Free Wi-Fi is currently available at the following airports:
At larger airports, such as Nuuk Airport, passengers can find a wider range of services including cafés, lounges, charging areas and unmanned retail solutions. Smaller airports may offer fewer facilities, while still providing the essentials for a comfortable journey.
Facilities and services vary from airport to airport, so we recommend checking the specific airport you are travelling through before departure.
A little preparation can make your journey both easier and more comfortable.

Greenland’s nature and changing weather are part of everyday life here — and sometimes the journey itself, including delays, becomes part of the adventure.

For many travellers, our airports are the very first introduction to Greenland.
Whether you are arriving for adventure, work or to experience everyday life in the Arctic, travelling in Greenland is often different from travelling elsewhere — quieter, closer to nature and shaped by the surroundings.
We look forward to welcoming you to Greenland’s 13 airports and 46 heliports.
Have a great journey.
