About Kangaatsiaq Heliport
Kangaatsiaq Heliport is a small domestic heliport serving Kangaatsiaq, a town in the Qeqertalik municipality of western Greenland. It operates as a helistop and is served by Air Greenland under a government contract.
The heliport lies in the northern part of the town and sits only a short distance from the centre of Kangaatsiaq. It provides seasonal helicopter connections, mainly in winter and spring, to Aasiaat Airport and nearby settlements including Attu, Ikerasaarsuk, Iginniarfik and Niaqornaarsuk.
Because it is a helistop, the heliport has basic infrastructure rather than a full terminal complex. Passengers arrive and depart from a compact asphalt landing area with simple waiting shelter space.
As the main air link for Kangaatsiaq, the heliport plays an important role in connecting the town with the wider Disko Bay region and onward travel via Aasiaat.
