Air Greenland Flights: 50 Departure Airports and Where They Go: questions people actually ask
How many airports does Air Greenland fly from?
Our route dataset lists Air Greenland (GL) as operating out of 50 airports and reaching 170 destination airports — a medium-sized international network, ranked 91 of 485 airlines by origin count. These are network figures rather than live schedule counts, so they describe where the airline operates rather than what is on sale today. Its main gateways are JNN; Copenhagen, Denmark; Reykjavík, Iceland; Nuuk, Greenland; JUV; Kangerlussuaq, Greenland; Qaqortoq, Greenland; UMD; AGM; Ilulissat, Greenland; Kulusuk, Greenland; UAK, and its origin countries are Greenland (9); Denmark (1); Iceland (1).
Which airports carry most of Air Greenland's traffic?
By the size of their own destination lists in our data, the leading origins for GL are JNN; Copenhagen, Denmark; Reykjavík, Iceland; Nuuk, Greenland; JUV; Kangerlussuaq, Greenland; Qaqortoq, Greenland; UMD; AGM; Ilulissat, Greenland; Kulusuk, Greenland; UAK. The country spread behind them is Greenland (9); Denmark (1); Iceland (1), and the busiest single routes out of this network run to Sisimiut, Greenland; Qaanaaq, Greenland; Amsterdam, Netherlands; JUV; Nuuk, Greenland; Kangerlussuaq, Greenland.
How do I find the cheapest Air Greenland flights?
Work from the airports you can actually reach, then compare total journey time and baggage terms rather than headline fare. On routes where GL competes with several carriers the cheapest option is normally whichever airline runs the most departures. Its widest destination reach runs to Sisimiut, Greenland; Qaanaaq, Greenland; Amsterdam, Netherlands; JUV; Nuuk, Greenland; Kangerlussuaq, Greenland; Qaqortoq, Greenland; UMD; AGM; Ilulissat, Greenland; UAK; JNN; Kulusuk, Greenland; Aasiaat, Greenland, and its principal origins are JNN; Copenhagen, Denmark; Reykjavík, Iceland; Nuuk, Greenland; JUV; Kangerlussuaq, Greenland.

What that means when you search for a fare
None of this predicts a fare. It predicts where one exists, which is Sisimiut, Greenland; Qaanaaq, Greenland; Amsterdam, Netherlands; JUV; Nuuk, Greenland; Kangerlussuaq, Greenland; Qaqortoq, Greenland; UMD; AGM; Ilulissat, Greenland; UAK; JNN; Kulusuk, Greenland; Aasiaat, Greenland.
Remember that a connection through one of these airports frequently beats the nonstop it replaces, on door-to-door time as well as on price. The routes most often compared on this network are Nuuk, Greenland; Kangerlussuaq, Greenland; Qaqortoq, Greenland; UMD; AGM; Ilulissat, Greenland; UAK; JNN.
