Infrastructure

The infrastructure of Greenland is very modern and able to adapt to the specific demands of the industrial sector.

All places are reachable by either commercial airline or sea traffic. There are three airports connecting Greenland with Europe: Kangerlussuaq on the west coast with connections to Denmark, Narsarsuaq in the south with connections to Denmark and in the summer Iceland, and Kulusuk on the east coast with connections to Iceland. 

We are constantly trying to make it easier to get to Greenland. To support these efforts, international airports in the capital of Nuuk and in the main tourist destination, Ilulissat, are being planned and an air link to Baltimore, US, is being implemented.

From the international airports, smaller domestic planes fly to most of the coastal towns of Greenland within approximately one hour. For special assignments, such as the transport of people or equipment to remote inland destinations, a fleet of helicopters and planes is available.

No roads or railways exist between the towns of Greenland, but all are reachable by air or by sea. The network of harbours and a modern cargo fleet ensure the logistics for businesses and people in Greenland.
