Location

Nuuk, Greenland

Nuuk International Airport (IATA: GOH, ICAO: BGGH) is the main airport serving Nuuk, the capital of Greenland. It handles the majority of international and domestic air traffic into and out of Greenland, connecting the island to Denmark and other destinations in the North Atlantic region. The airport is operated by Greenland Airports (Mittarfeqarfiit) and sits at an elevation of approximately 283 feet (86 meters) above sea level. Its single runway can accommodate medium-sized commercial jet aircraft, and the facility has undergone expansion planning to support increased traffic as Greenland's importance as a destination grows. Air Greenland uses Nuuk as its primary hub, operating both international routes to Copenhagen and domestic services across Greenlandic towns and settlements. The airport plays a critical logistical role for a country where air transport is often the only practical means of inter-community travel.
