About Attu Heliport
Attu Heliport is the air link serving Attu, a small settlement on Greenland's west coast along the Davis Strait. As a simple helistop with the IATA code QGQ, it connects the village with the regional towns of Kangaatsiaq and Aasiaat through scheduled helicopter services operated by Air Greenland.
The heliport sits in the southernmost part of the Qeqertalik municipality, about 40 km south of Kangaatsiaq and roughly 100 km south of Aasiaat. Because there are no roads connecting Attu to other settlements, the helicopter is a key transport link for residents and visitors, with boats providing additional connections during the open-water season.
Passenger facilities are modest: the heliport has no terminal building, so check-in, boarding and arrivals are handled directly at the helipad. Travelers should plan for a simple, small-scale travel experience and confirm schedules in advance.
For visitors arriving by helicopter, onward movement within Attu is on foot or by local arrangement, while regional journeys continue by helicopter or boat. The heliport makes it possible to reach this remote West Greenland community throughout the year.
