Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Nuuk is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is Nuuk International Airport (GOH), 2 km (1 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 7,217 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft.
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Nuuk International Airport | GOH | 2 km (1 mi) | 7,217 ft | 283 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 7,217 ft, GOH handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 283 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
