Construction plans leave the fate of Greenland’s main airport up in the air
Greenlandic lawmakers are ready to build new airports. They are less prepared to make a decision about what to do with one of the facilities they will replace.
For most people who fly to Greenland, the first place they set their feet on the ground is the tarmac at the airport in Kangerlussuaq. Only the fewest of the 300,000 people who land in Kangerlussuaq each year end their travels there, however. Those involved in commercial activities or public affairs typically fly onward to Nuuk, the capital. Pleasure travellers are most likely to end in Ilulissat.
