    Airlines and destinations

    [edit]

    Air Greenland Nerlerit Inaat[5]

    Because of passenger capacity, the helicopters do up to four flights for each departing airplane. There are 50 minutes between these helicopter departures, causing a longer total travel time for many passengers.[5] The distance by helicopter to Nerlerit Inaat is 38 kilometres (24 mi).

    Relocation

    [edit]

    The Nerlerit Inaat Airport may be relocated [6] to a new site on Liverpool Land much closer to Ittoqqortoormiit, between the settlement and Uunarteq (Kap Tobin) to the south, thus eliminating the need for helicopter transfers.[7] The project would be economical if the need for the helicopter could be eliminated; however, it would still be needed for search and rescue.[7]
