Greenland Airports

Helipad Tour Across South Greenland! 🚁🇬🇱 This season, we've visited every helipad in South Greenland – from Qaqortoq, Narsaq, Nanortalik, Alluitsup Paa, Aappilattoq, Tasiusaq, Qassimiut, Ammassivik, Narsarmijit, to Eqalugaarsuit. In the video, you can see our dedicated colleagues in action, reinstalling the wind socks after inspection. These wind socks are more than just markers – they provide vital information about wind conditions, helping pilots land safely even in Greenland’s ever-changing weather. 🌫🌧❄️ Have you ever visited any of our helipads in South Greenland?

Did you spot the many runners passing by Nuuk Airport – and our youngest volunteer – at Runderful Nuuk last Saturday? 🏃♀️✈️ We were proud to sponsor the Runderful Nuuk Half Marathon this past weekend, cheering on the runners with water and snacks along the way. One little helper – our youngest volunteer – was especially proud to be part of the day. 💚 At Greenland Airports, we’re happy to support both sports and community. Congratulations to everyone who completed Runderful Nuuk! 👏

What does it mean to be an AFIS operator in Qaarsut?🤔✈️ We asked our colleague Stine, who says: "For me, being an AFIS operator at Greenland Airports in Qaarsut is much more than just a job – it’s a passion. Every day, I help pilots with the information they need to fly safely. At the same time, I contribute to ensuring that passengers enjoy a safe and pleasant travel experience – and I get to do it alongside some of the best colleagues, who can even make a snowstorm feel cozy. It’s a role that challenges me, inspires me, and gives me experiences you simply can’t get anywhere else. And in my opinion, I also have the world’s best office view: from here I can follow the fast-changing weather, watch the seasons transform the landscape, and be reminded every day of what a beautiful and unique place I get to work in. No two days are the same, but every day is a good one.” 📸 Photos by Stine – capturing the unique and ever-changing views from the AFIS tower, all year round. 👉 Read more about our AFIS training program on airports.gl

Behind the scenes: Photoshoot at Nuuk Airport! 📸 We were delighted to welcome photographer Adam Grønne and Colm Morgan from ZESO Architects – the team behind the design of our terminal building.
