Ittoqqortoormiit Heliport is a heliport in Ittoqqortoormiit, a village in the Sermersooq municipality in eastern Greenland.
Because of passenger capacity, the helicopters do up to four flights for each departing airplane. There are 50 minutes between these helicopter departures, causing a longer total travel time for many passengers. The distance by helicopter to Nerlerit Inaat is 38km (24miles).
The Nerlerit Inaat Airport may be relocated [2] to a new site on Liverpool Land much closer to Ittoqqortoormiit, between the settlement and Uunarteq (Kap Tobin) to the south, thus eliminating the need for helicopter transfers.[3] The project would be economical if the need for the helicopter could be eliminated; however, it would still be needed for search and rescue.[3]
