Until 1997 the heliport was known as Ammassalik Heliport and is still listed by the Danish authorities under that name.[1]
Airlines and destinations
| Airlines | Destinations |
|---|---|
| Air Greenland | Kulusuk[7] |
| Air Greenland (settlement flights) | Isortoq, Kuummiit, Sermiligaaq, Tiniteqilaaq[7] |
Air Greenland operates government contract flights to villages in the Tasiilaq regions. These are mostly cargo flights that are not featured in the timetable,[7] although they can be pre-booked.[8] 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.
Future
There are political discussions on building a new airport at Tasiilaq, the major settlement in the region, and to close the Kulusuk Airport.[9]
