Qaqortoq Airport guide

Qaqortoq Airport (Mittarfik Qaqortoq, ICAO BGQO) lies about 5 km north of Qaqortoq, the largest town in southern Greenland, in Kujalleq municipality. It opened on 16 April 2026 and took over the JJU code from the old Qaqortoq Heliport.

The airport replaced two facilities at once. Qaqortoq Heliport closed, and Narsarsuaq Airport, about 59 km away, was downgraded to a heliport. Travellers to Qaqortoq no longer need a helicopter transfer to reach a fixed-wing flight.

It has one asphalt runway, 11/29, 1,500 m long. The site has room to extend it to about 1,800 m. The length suits aircraft of nearly 100 seats, such as the De Havilland Canada Dash 8-400, on domestic routes and flights to Iceland. Greenland Airports operates it.

Air Greenland flies to Nuuk, Narsarsuaq, Narsaq and Nanortalik, with seasonal routes to Alluitsup Paa, Ammassivik and Paamiut. Icelandair runs seasonal flights to Reykjavik-Keflavik from 2 June 2026.
