Innaarsuit Heliport is a heliport in Innaarsuit, a village in the Upernavik Archipelago of Avannaata municipality in northwestern Greenland. The heliport is considered a helistop, and is served by Air Greenland as part of a government contract.

Airlines and destinations

Air Greenland operates government contract flights to villages in the Upernavik area. These mostly cargo flights are not featured in the timetable, although they can be pre-booked.[1] 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.

Accidents

In 1993 a Bell 212 helicopter operated by Grønlandsfly, crashed near Innarsuit. Four were killed (both pilots and two passengers) of the seven on board.[2] [3]
