Nerlerit Inaat |
Because of passenger capacity, the helicopters do up to four flights for each departing airplane. There are 50 minutes between these helicopter departures, causing a longer
total travel time for many passengers. The distance by helicopter to Nerlerit Inaat is 38 kilometres (24 mi).
Relocation
The Nerlerit Inaat Airport may be relocated [6] to a new site on Liverpool Land much closer to Ittoqqortoormiit, between the
settlement and Unarteq cape (Kap Tobin) to the south, thus eliminating the need for helicopter transfers. The project
would be economical if the need for the helicopter could be eliminated, but it is needed for search and rescue also.
