About Nanortalik Heliport Airport

Nanortalik Heliport Airport, identified by IATA code JNN and ICAO code BGNN, serves as the principal air access point for Nanortalik municipality and the surrounding Kujalleq region of southern Greenland. The facility operates exclusively as a heliport, accommodating rotary-wing aircraft only, which reflects the geographic and logistical realities of this rugged, fjord-divided landscape where conventional fixed-wing runways are impractical. Air Greenland operates scheduled helicopter services connecting Nanortalik to the wider Greenlandic domestic network, but private charter helicopters are also accommodated within the facility’s operational framework. Customs and immigration for international arrivals are handled in accordance with Danish and Greenlandic border regulations, typically coordinated in advance for private charter passengers. The heliport’s position close to the town centre makes it one of the most conveniently located Arctic air facilities relative to the community it serves.

Private Jet Charter Tips for Nanortalik

• Transfer to city — Nanortalik Heliport is approximately 5–10 minutes by road from the town centre; private vehicle transfers are easily arranged, and the compact town is also accessible on foot
