Kulusuk Airport Live Cam

Origins and Evolution

The establishment of Kulusuk Airport (ICAO: BGKK) in the Sermersooq municipality marked a pivotal shift in Greenland travel, opening remote eastern communities to global Arctic adventures. Constructed in 1985 on the island’s rugged terrain, the airport replaced precarious boat journeys across ice-choked channels and seasonal dog-sled routes with reliable polar flights. Initially designed to accommodate Twin Otter aircraft, its gravel runway stretched 800 meters, enabling connections to Nuuk, Reykjavík, and seasonal helicopter transfers to Tasiilaq. Over time, improvements to runway reinforcement and lighting systems transformed Kulusuk Airport into a hub for “East Greenland expeditions” and “Kulusuk Airport flights,” boosting tourism and medical evacuation (medevac) capabilities alike.
