What you need to know about your trip
The most important information about the Maniitsoq to Aalborg route, gathered in one place. This is a connecting journey via Nuuk – not a direct flight – and the leg onward to Aalborg only runs during the summer season.
1 stop

Fly Maniitsoq-Nuuk, then connect onward to Aalborg. No through check-in guarantee – check your booking confirmation.
Twice weekly
Departures (season)
Nuuk-Aalborg operates Mondays and Thursdays, 16 June – 1 September. This sets the days you can travel the whole way to Aalborg. The Maniitsoq-Nuuk hop runs year-round several times a week, so plan that leg around these dates.
Two aircraft types
Aircraft
A Dash 8 turboprop on the Maniitsoq-Nuuk leg, then a Boeing 737-800 (leased from AirSeven) on to Aalborg.
20 kg
Baggage included

Your journey from Maniitsoq to Aalborg
From Maniitsoq Airport (JSU)
There is no non-stop flight between Maniitsoq and Aalborg. Instead, you travel with Air Greenland via Nuuk: first on the short domestic hop from Maniitsoq Airport to Nuuk Airport (GOH), flown with a Dash 8 turboprop, taking around 35 minutes. Maniitsoq Airport is a small, STOL-capable airfield on Maniitsoq Island with a compact terminal and no de-icing equipment, so winter departures can be more weather-sensitive than at larger airports. We recommend being at the airport at least 90 minutes before departure.
Connecting in Nuuk
Nuuk Airport is Greenland’s main hub, opened in November 2024 with a new 2,200-metre runway. From here, Air Greenland operates the seasonal direct route onward to Aalborg, flown with a leased Boeing 737-800 operated by AirSeven on Air Greenland's behalf, taking around 5 hours 40 minutes. As the two legs use different aircraft types and are not always sold as a single through-fare, we recommend allowing generous connection time in Nuuk and confirming your onward booking and baggage arrangements when you book.
A summer connection to Denmark
Because the Nuuk-Aalborg leg only operates twice a week – on Mondays and Thursdays, from 16 June to 1 September – travel all the way through to Aalborg on this routing is only possible during that same window. Outside the Nuuk-Aalborg season, travellers from Maniitsoq reach Denmark by connecting via Copenhagen instead. As the Nuuk-Aalborg aircraft is a leased Boeing 737-800 rather than Air Greenland's own fleet, the onboard experience on that leg will differ noticeably from the smaller Dash 8 used from Maniitsoq. There is no WiFi on board either aircraft.
Arrival in Aalborg (AAL)
Aalborg Airport is well connected to onward destinations across Denmark and mainland Europe by both rail and road, making it a practical gateway for the final leg of your journey home or onward. Maniitsoq itself, once known as Sukkertoppen, is Greenland's sixth most populated town, set on the west coast in the Qeqqata municipality – a good starting point before the long journey south.
In the event of weather-related changes
Greenlandic weather can affect either leg of this journey, particularly the domestic hop between Maniitsoq and Nuuk, given the absence of de-icing equipment at Maniitsoq Airport. In the event of a weather cancellation, we rebook you free of charge to the next available departure, and you are contacted automatically by SMS and email. Because this itinerary involves a connection, we recommend a flexible fare type and allowing extra buffer time in Nuuk in case of delays.

The Maniitsoq-Nuuk leg takes approximately 35 minutes, and the onward Nuuk-Aalborg leg takes around 5 hours 40 minutes. Total journey time depends on your connection time in Nuuk, so check the specific schedule when booking.
The Maniitsoq-Nuuk leg operates several times a week year-round. The onward Nuuk-Aalborg leg operates twice a week – on Mondays and Thursdays – during the summer season from 16 June to 1 September. Because this leg is seasonal, the full journey through to Aalborg is only possible on those days within that window.
In the event of weather-related cancellations on either leg, we rebook you free of charge to the next available departure. You are contacted automatically by SMS and email with the new departure time. We can also arrange hotel and meals if you are stranded en route, including in Nuuk if you miss your connection.

Danish and Nordic citizens do not need a visa for Greenland or Denmark – a passport or valid ID is sufficient. Other EU citizens need a valid passport. Greenland is outside the Schengen Area, so always check the current entry requirements with your foreign ministry before departure, especially if you are travelling onward from Denmark into the Schengen Area.
All tickets can be changed free of charge within 24 hours of booking. After that it depends on the fare type – Flex tickets can be changed freely, while discounted tickets carry a change fee. See the terms for your specific ticket in your booking confirmation.
The route relies on the Nuuk-Aalborg service, which is a seasonal connection designed to meet higher demand between Greenland and Jutland during the summer travel period. Outside that season, travellers from Maniitsoq reach Denmark by connecting via Copenhagen instead.
