Your journey from Ilulissat to Maniitsoq
Leg 1: Ilulissat (JAV) → Nuuk (GOH)
Air Greenland operates direct flights from Ilulissat Airport to Nuuk Airport (GOH) with a Dash-8 turboprop aircraft. The flight takes approximately 1 hour and 30-40 minutes and operates several times daily, year-round. We recommend arriving at the airport no later than 1 hour before departure. Check-in opens 2 hours before departure and closes 45 minutes before departure.
Transfer in Nuuk (GOH)
In Nuuk, you will change aircraft for the domestic flight that takes you onwards to Maniitsoq. Nuuk Airport is Air Greenland's main hub and the natural connection point for towns along Greenland's west coast, so connections are generally scheduled to avoid an overnight stay along the way. Always check your specific connection time when booking, as schedules may vary depending on the season and demand.
Leg 2: Nuuk (GOH) → Maniitsoq (JSU)
The final leg is operated with a Dash-8 turboprop aircraft and takes approximately 45 minutes. There are several departures a week year-round on this short hop up the coast from Nuuk.
Arrival in Maniitsoq (JSU)
Maniitsoq Airport is a small regional airport serving the town of Maniitsoq, known as the “Venice of Greenland” for its many islands, channels and bridges. The town is a popular base for hiking, kayaking and heli-skiing amid the surrounding mountains and fjords.
When is it cheapest?
The lowest fares are typically available during the low season from October to March. During the peak season from June to August, when many travellers combine a visit to Ilulissat Icefjord with the fjords and mountains around Maniitsoq, demand on both legs increases noticeably, so we recommend booking well in advance.
- Low season (Oct–Mar): from DKK 3,800
- Peak season (Jun–Aug): from DKK 5,200
In case of weather-related changes
Greenlandic weather can affect flights on both legs. In the event of a weather-related cancellation, we will rebook you free of charge on the next available departure, and you will be contacted automatically by SMS and email. We recommend choosing a flexible ticket type, as a delay on one leg may affect your connection in Nuuk.
