About Kuummiit Heliport
Kuummiit Heliport is a small helistop serving the settlement of Kuummiit in the Sermersooq municipality of southeastern Greenland. It provides scheduled helicopter connections operated by Air Greenland under a government contract, linking the village with the regional town of Tasiilaq.
The heliport has no dedicated passenger terminal building and handles settlement flights on a simple landing area. Kuummiit is a small east-coast settlement of around 250 residents, and the heliport is an essential link for local travel, supplies and access to the wider region.
Located close to the village centre, the heliport sits on the eastern coast of Greenland. There is no road connection to Tasiilaq, which lies about 40 km away across the fjord system, so onward travel is by helicopter or boat.
From Tasiilaq, passengers can continue to Kulusuk Airport for flights to other parts of Greenland and beyond. Despite its limited facilities, the heliport provides a practical gateway for reaching this remote coastal community.
