Airlines and destinations

| Air Greenland (settlement flights) | Pituffik Space Base[2] |
Air Greenland operates government contract flights to villages in the Qaanaaq area. These mostly cargo flights are not featured in the timetable,[2] although they can be pre-booked.[3] Departure times for these flights as specified during booking are by definition approximate, with the settlement service optimized on the fly depending on local demand for a given day.
Transfers at Pituffik Space Base
[edit]Travellers bound for Pituffik Space Base in Pituffik are required to apply for access permit from either Rigsombudsmanden in Nuuk (residents of Greenland), or the Danish Foreign Ministry (all others).[4] Failure to present the permit during check-in results in denial of boarding. The same rules apply for transfers at Pituffik, a stopover necessary for flights from Savissivik to either Moriusaq or Qaanaaq.
