Kangerlussuaq Airport
[include1/730x20.htm]
Kangerlussuaq Airport (IATA: SFJ, ICAO: BGSF) is an airport in Kangerlussuaq, a settlement in the Qeqqata municipality in central-western Greenland. Alongside Narsarsuaq Airport, it is one of only two civilian airports in Greenland large enough to handle large airliners. It is located away from the coast and hence less prone to fog and wind in comparison with other airports in Greenland. Kangerlussuaq Airport is the international hub for Air Greenland. The Kangerlussuaq area has very few inhabitants, around 500, so few passengers have their origin or destination here. Most passengers change planes. The airport resides at an elevation of 165 ft (50 m) above mean sea level. It has a runway designated 09/27 with asphalt surface measuring 9,219 ft (2,810 m) in length. Air Greenland and Air Iceland Connect provide scheduled commercial flights to / from this Airport.
The terminal is open
for 24 hours during summer. Hotel Kangerlussuaq, with a 70-room
capacity and a restaurant, is located within the terminal building
of the airport, providing accommodation for transferring
passengers. Other amenities include a night-club and a
self-service bar during daytime. Several tourism outfitters share
an office in the terminal, alongside the Tourist Office. There are
two other more simple accommodations in Kangerlussuaq. |
