Remote Arctic heliport serving the island community of Uummannaq.

Location

Uummannaq, Greenland

Uummannaq Heliport (IATA: UMD, ICAO: BGUM) is a small heliport located in Uummannaq, a town situated on an island in the Uummannaq Fjord in northwestern Greenland. Because the town is surrounded by water and rugged terrain, helicopter service is the primary means of scheduled air transport connecting the community to the wider region. The heliport is served by Air Greenland, which operates helicopter routes linking Uummannaq with other settlements and larger airports in Greenland. The facility plays a vital role in providing year-round transport access, medical evacuation capability, and logistical support to this remote Arctic community of roughly 1,000 residents.

Terminals

The heliport has a small, basic passenger terminal appropriate for the limited scheduled traffic serving this remote community.

Getting to & from

Ground transport within Uummannaq is limited given the small size of the island town, with the heliport accessible on foot or by local vehicle.
