Greenland’s new international airports aim to boost tourism and diversify its economy beyond fishing. Nuuk’s airport, opened in November, has already spurred a 14% rise in international arrivals, with United Airlines launching direct New York-Nuuk flights in June. Ilulissat and Qaqortoq will follow with new airports by 2026. Tourism operators report surging bookings, fueled by increased global attention. While businesses prepare to expand, some remain cautious about future demand. Greenland’s unique landscapes and Inuit culture are attracting more visitors than ever.
