Your journey from Sisimiut to Ilulissat
From Sisimiut Airport (JHS)
Air Greenland operates a direct domestic flight from Sisimiut to Ilulissat, flown with a Dash 8 turboprop aircraft – there is no need to connect via Nuuk or any other airport. We recommend being at the airport at least 90 minutes before departure. Check-in opens 3 hours before departure and closes 60 minutes before.
On board
The Sisimiut-Ilulissat route is flown with a smaller domestic turboprop aircraft rather than the larger Atlantic jets, so the onboard experience is simpler, with no WiFi and limited catering compared to intercontinental flights. The route runs along Greenland's dramatic west coast, offering views of fjords, mountains and, closer to Ilulissat, the sea ice of Disko Bay.
Arriving in Ilulissat (JAV)
Ilulissat Airport is Greenland's largest airport and gateway to the UNESCO-listed Ilulissat Icefjord, famous for its enormous calving glacier and drifting icebergs. As one of Greenland's main hubs, Ilulissat offers good onward connections, a wider range of accommodation and more visitor services than smaller towns along the coast, making it a popular base for exploring Disko Bay.
When is it cheapest?
Fares on this route vary with the season, and typically rise around the summer holiday period in July, when demand is highest, particularly among travellers heading to see the icefjord. For the best price, book as early as possible and stay flexible with your travel dates – shoulder-season months such as August and September tend to offer better value.
In the event of weather-related changes
Greenlandic weather along the west coast can affect this route, especially in winter. In the event of a weather cancellation, we rebook you free of charge to the next available departure and contact you automatically by SMS and email. We recommend a flexible fare type if you are travelling in the winter season.
