Ilulissat Airport South

Greenland is a self-governing territory within the Kingdom of Denmark and is located between the North Atlantic and the Arctic Ocean. Greenland is mostly covered by ice sheet, while the population mainly lives along the coasts. The economy is based on fishing, the public sector and tourism. The largest city and administrative capital is Nuuk. Greenland has its own government and is responsible for most domestic issues, while Denmark handles foreign and security policy.

Ilulissat is a city on the west coast of Greenland in the Disko Bay region. Ilulissat is one of the country's larger cities and serves as a local center for trade, services, and tourism. The business community is dominated by fishing and public services. Outside Ilulissat is the Ilulissat Icefjord, which carries ice from the ice sheet into the sea. Ilulissat has air and port connections with other parts of Greenland.

Ilulissat Airport South refers to the existing airport facility in Ilulissat which is used for regional air traffic. The airport has a short runway adapted for smaller aircraft and helicopters, mainly for domestic connections within Greenland. Ilulissat Airport South has had a central role for transport to and from Disko Bay, but is planned to be replaced when the new Ilulissat Airport North comes into use.
