Airlines and destinations
| Airlines | Destinations |
|---|---|
| Air Greenland (settlement flights) | Pituffik[2] |
Air Greenland operates government contract flights to villages in the Qaanaaq area. These mostly cargo flights are not featured in the timetable,[2] although they can be pre-booked.[3] Departure times for these flights as specified during booking are by definition approximate, with the settlement service optimized on the fly depending on local demand for a given day.
Transfers at Thule Air Base
Travellers bound for Thule Air Base in Pituffik are required to apply for access permit from either Rigsombudsmanden in Nuuk (residents of Greenland), or the Danish Foreign Ministry (all others).[4] Failure to present the permit during check-in results in denial of boarding. The same rules apply for transfers at Pituffik, a stopover necessary for flights from Savissivik to either Moriusaq or Qaanaaq.
