The Worlds Strangest International Airport Kangerlussuaq Greenland Cultural Travel Guide

Kangerlussuaq has a fascinating history and an uncertain future. The former US airbase of Sondrestrom is currently the hub of Air Greenland's network and the only airport in the country that can accommodate the Airbus A330 that flies the daily lifeline link to Copenhagen. A small town of around 500 people services the airport, far from the major urban centres of Greenland. Local tour operators provide options for transiting passengers that include searching for musk oxen and driving to the ice cap. However, all that is about to change as new international airports are scheduled to open in Nuuk and Ilulissat in 2024. The future for Kangerlussuaq's airport and, more importantly, for its residents, is very much in doubt. • Filmed September 2022 • Jonathan Wheeler • www.travelobscurer.com • #visitgreenland #kangerlussuaq • #grønland #kalaallitnunaat • #greenland #airgreenland • #sondrestrom #airports • Music licensed through Artlist
