Greenland Heliports
Greenland has around 47 heliports and helistops spread across its remote settlements. They are extremely important because Greenland's terrain is rugged, with fjords, glaciers, and very few roads, so helicopters often provide the only practical way to move people, goods, and medical supplies. Heliports ensure year‑round access, even when sea routes are blocked by ice in winter or weather conditions make boat travel impossible. They also connect small settlements to larger airports, enabling residents to access healthcare, trade, education, and other essential services.
