Mittarfik Qaarsuarsuit (Qaarsut) Live Cam

Historical Foundations

Established in 1999, Mittarfik Qaarsuarsuit—commonly known as Qaarsut Airport (ICAO: BGQQ)—emerged as a vital aviation link for Avannaata’s western settlements. Prior to its construction, travel between the Uummannaq Fjord region and Greenland’s primary hubs relied exclusively on boat transport and dog-sled caravans, subject to unpredictable ice conditions and seasonal closures. The inauguration of Qaarsut Airport marked a new era in “Greenland air travel,” providing a fixed-wing connection to Ilulissat and Nuuk, while facilitating “Qaarsut Airport flights” for both locals and international tourists seeking “Uummannaq travel” experiences.
