Summary
On October 29, 2026, Greenland officially opened the new Ilulissat International Airport, marking the completion of a major three-airport infrastructure project. The facility features a 2,200-metre runway and a 5,000 square metre terminal building designed to accommodate larger aircraft and facilitate direct international travel. An Air Greenland flight from Copenhagen served as the inaugural arrival. The airport is intended to bolster the local tourism industry and diversify the economy as part of broader efforts toward independence from Denmark. Future services include weekly flights by Jettime and seasonal routes operated by Icelandair starting in 2027.
