    Default Greenland Ready For Tourism

    Greenland is making a major push to increase connectivity over the coming years as work progresses on three airport projects that will open up the world’s largest island to new international destinations.
    Kalaallit Airports, set up by the country’s government in 2016, is embarking on the construction of new airports in the capital Nuuk (GOH) and tourism center Ilulissat (JAV). The airports will be equipped with runways that are 2,200-m long and 45-m wide, allowing for direct flights to and from North America and Europe.
    In addition, a new airport will also be built in Qaqortoq, a town in southern Greenland set within a system of fjords. Funding for this project was secured in early December 2021, enabling construction to begin this summer. The work will include a new 1,500-m runway.
    Currently, Greenland is linked to just two international destinations. Flag-carrier Air Greenland flys from Kangerlussuaq (SFJ) to Copenhagen (CPH) and from Nuuk to Reykjavik Keflavik (KEF) in Iceland. Icelandair also serves Reykjavík Airport (RKV) from Kulusuk (KUS) and Nuuk.

    Now this destination is right up my alley! I love going to places where there are virtually no people. I can't wait to hear that the first flights are scheduled.

    That's okay. I always come back home to warm and sunny so those forays into cold weather are a welcome break.

    Yeah one thing I’m sure of, is even though you live in the “valley of the sun & cactus” you do know how to style a parka
