Qaqortoq Heliport destinations

Air Greenland operates government contract flights to villages in the Qaqortoq region. These mostly cargo flights are not featured in the timetable, although they can be pre-booked. Departure times for these flights as specified during booking are by definition approximate, with the settlement service optimized on the fly depending on local demand for a given day.

Future

The future of the heliport is connected to the wider network of air traffic in southern Greenland. A political decision was taken by the Greenland government and parliament during December 2015, regarding construction of an airport close to Qaqortoq with a 1500-metre runway. Also, a 6.2 kilometre dirt road from Qaqortoq town to the airport site was completed during November 2016. And the first rock blastings at the airport site were conducted during early November 2016. Construction of the new airport will be started in either 2018 or 2019, with an expected completion during 2021.

The new airport is forecast to have not so high regularity, because its location at 130 metres altitude gives more wind and fog.
