Location
Kulusuk, Greenland
Kulusuk Airport (IATA: KUS, ICAO: BGKK) is a small regional airport located on Kulusuk Island in the Sermersooq municipality of East Greenland. It serves as the primary air link for the remote Kulusuk settlement and acts as an important transit point for travelers heading to nearby Tasiilaq, the largest town in East Greenland. The airport operates a gravel and asphalt runway capable of handling turboprop and small jet aircraft. Given Greenland's challenging terrain and climate, the airport plays a vital role in connecting isolated East Greenlandic communities to the outside world, as sea and land transport options are extremely limited in the region. Flight operations can be affected by severe Arctic weather, including fog, strong winds, and low visibility, making scheduling unpredictable at times. Air Greenland operates regular services connecting Kulusuk to Reykjavik, Iceland, and other Greenlandic destinations, making the airport a modest but strategically important hub for the region.
Terminals
The airport has a single small terminal building suited to the low passenger volumes of this remote Arctic destination.
Getting to & from
Ground transport options are extremely limited; helicopter services operated by Air Greenland provide the main link between Kulusuk Airport and the nearby town of Tasiilaq.
Airlines here
