Qaarsut Airport is a public airport located in the village of Qaarsut on the Nuussuaq Peninsula in northwestern Greenland. Qaarsut Airport is located west of the village itself and serves as a regional airport with a gravel runway that can accommodate short take-off/short landing aircraft all year round. Qaarsut Airport is used for scheduled traffic by Air Greenland and connects Qaarsut with other locations in Greenland, such as Uummannaq and Ilulissat. The terminal building has simple functions for departures and arrivals and there is a road between Qaarsut Airport and the village. Qaarsut Airport was opened in the late 1990s as a solution to serve the Uummannaq area, which lacked sufficient space for a runway.
