Historical Foundations

In the heart of South Greenland’s Kujalleq region lies Narsarsuaq International Airport (ICAO: BGBW), a site whose origins are deeply entwined with the strategic imperatives of World War II. Constructed in 1941 under the codename Bluie West One, this facility was established by the United States Army Air Forces as a forward base for transatlantic ferry flights. Its remote position on the shores of the Tunulliarfik Fjord offered a critical mid-Atlantic refueling stop for military aircraft en route between North America and Europe, cementing its place in “Greenland history” and “WWII Arctic bases” lore.
