Nuuk Airport (Greenlandic: Mittarfik Nuuk, Danish: Nuuk Lufthavn, formerly Godthåb Lufthavn; (IATA: GOH, ICAO: BGGH)) is an international airport serving Nuuk, the capital of Greenland. The airport is the hub and technical base for Air Greenland, the flag carrier airline of Greenland, linking the capital with almost all towns in the country and international destinations.[3] International routes are also provided by Icelandair on a year-round basis as well as SAS and United Airlines on a seasonal basis. Most international journeys to or from Greenland pass through this airport.[4][5]
The airport was originally constructed for STOL-capable aircraft in 1979. In 2024, the airport was comprehensively rebuilt and expanded, including a runway extension and a new terminal, which allows larger jet aircraft to serve more international destinations. Previously, longer-distance jet traffic was operated from Kangerlussuaq Airport, necessitating transfers and longer journey times.[6][7]
