About Saattut Heliport
Saattut Heliport is a small helicopter landing site serving Saattut, a village on Saattut Island in the Uummannaq Fjord system of western Greenland. It is classed as a helistop and is operated by Mittarfeqarfiit on behalf of Greenland Airports.
The heliport supports Air Greenland settlement flights under a government contract, connecting Saattut with Uummannaq and nearby communities. It plays an important role for residents and visitors in a region where there are no roads between settlements.
Located about 23 km northeast of Uummannaq, the heliport is reached by helicopter, with flights typically taking around 10 minutes, and by boat during the ice-free season. Travel to other communities in the district continues by helicopter or sea.
Facilities at the heliport are basic, reflecting its role as a settlement helistop rather than a major airport. Passengers travel through a simple landing area, while services such as a shop are found in the village itself.
