Air Greenland operates government contract flights to villages in the Uummannaq Fjord region. These mostly cargo flights are not featured in the timetable, [5] although they can be pre-booked. [6] Departure times for these flights as specified during booking are by definition approximate, with the settlement service optimized on the fly depending on local demand for a given day.
Neighboring Qaarsut Airport, located on Nuussuaq Peninsula on the other side of the Uummannaq fjord is the only daily connection available from Uummannaq, [7] serving Dash-7 aircraft of Air Greenland. [8] It functions as a mini-hub for Uummannaq, [9] marketed as Uummannaq Airport regardless of its actual location, registration, documentation, and existing booking systems.
