Your journey from Sisimiut to Nuuk
From Sisimiut Airport (JHS)
Air Greenland departs directly from Sisimiut Airport to Nuuk Airport (GOH), flown with one of the airline's own Dash 8 turboprop aircraft. As Sisimiut is a smaller airport, we recommend being there at least 90 minutes before departure. Check-in opens 2 hours before departure and closes 45 minutes before – slightly shorter windows than on the larger international routes.
A year-round link along the west coast
The route connects Greenland's second-largest town with the capital, and is flown several times a week throughout the year, with additional departures added during the busier summer months. It is a popular option both for local travel and for onward connections, since Nuuk is Air Greenland's main hub with links across Greenland, to Denmark, and to Iceland. As this is a domestic turboprop service, the onboard experience is simpler than on the larger jets used on international routes, and there is no WiFi on board.
Arrival in Nuuk (GOH)
Nuuk Airport is Greenland’s main international gateway, opened in November 2024 with a new 2,200-metre runway. It lies just 4 km from the city centre – about a 10-minute taxi or local bus ride. From here you can easily continue on to other destinations in Greenland, Denmark, or Iceland.
When is it cheapest?
As Sisimiut-Nuuk operates year-round, fares vary with demand rather than a fixed season. Prices tend to be lowest outside the summer peak and around major local holidays, and rise when demand is high, so it's worth comparing dates in the booking calendar above and booking ahead where possible.
In the event of weather-related changes
Greenlandic weather can affect this route, particularly in winter. 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. We recommend a flexible fare type if you have a tight onward connection in Nuuk.
