List of Spanish Airlines How to Travel to Nuuk, Greenland
 
Greenland holds the distinction of being the world’s largest island. With a surface area of over 800,000 square miles, it ranks as the 12th-largest country in the world -- although 81 percent of the land is covered with ice. Its location puts it closer to North America, yet Greenland’s transport links are much stronger with Europe, a reflection of its status as an autonomous country within Denmark. At the time of publication, it is not possible to make the journey to Greenland, including its capital city of Nuuk, by boat; the city is only accessible by air.


Fly to Greenland from Canada during the summer months. Air Greenland operates service between June and September, linking Iqaluit in Nunavut with Nuuk International Airport. You can fly to Iqaluit from several Canadian airports, including Ottawa, St. John’s, Goose Bay and Vancouver.


Fly to Nuuk via the Icelandic capital city of Reykjavik. At the time of publication, both Air Greenland and Air Iceland operate on this route. Air Greenland’s service is restricted to the period between March and October, when two planes fly between Keflavik Airport, outside Reykjavik, and Nuuk each week. Air Iceland’s service on the same route operates year-round. Flight time between Keflavik and Nuuk is about three hours, 20 minutes.


Travel to Nuuk via Copenhagen in Denmark. For U.S. travelers, this entails a much longer journey of crossing the Atlantic twice, but it’s a good way to combine your trip to Nuuk with some European sightseeing. At the time of publication, Air Greenland is the only carrier active on this route, operating flights between March and October on a virtually daily basis. Outside those months, you’ll have to fly to Kangerlussuaq, east of Nuuk, and transfer from there. Your journey from Copenhagen will be around 4.5 hours.
