Major Airports & Gateways
Nuuk (GOH): Greenland’s main international airport and primary gateway, offering the widest range of domestic and limited international connections; ideal for government, business travel, and access to the capital region.
Others: Airports such as Kangerlussuaq (SFJ), Ilulissat (JAV), Sisimiut (JHS), Narsarsuaq (UAK) Aasiaat (JEG), Qaanaaq (NAQ), Upernavik (JUV), and Maniitsoq (JSU) mainly offer domestic services; most international travelers arrive via Nuuk (GOH) or Kangerlussuaq (SFJ) before onward domestic travel.
Best Time to Fly
The best time to fly to Greenland depends on what you want to experience, but many travelers aim for summer between June and August, when milder weather, long daylight hours, and accessible landscapes make flights and activities most enjoyable. During summer you’ll find more scheduled services to destinations like Nuuk, Ilulissat, and South Greenland, and weather conditions are generally better for hiking, whale watching, sailing among icebergs, and exploring fjords.
If you’re looking for lower airfares and fewer crowds, the shoulder seasons of late spring (May – early June) or early autumn (September – October) are often good choices, offering relatively affordable flights and decent travel conditions with fewer tourists.
For winter experiences like Northern Lights, dog sledding, and snowy landscapes, December – March can be ideal — though flights may be fewer and weather more challenging, this period offers a uniquely Arctic journey.
In summary, June – August is generally considered the best overall time to fly to Greenland for most travelers, while shoulder seasons and winter each have their own advantages depending on your interests.
