Innarsuit Heliport (IATA: IUI) is a small, essential heliport serving the remote settlement of Innarsuit in Avannaata, northwestern Greenland. Situated at 73.200°N, 56.011°W in the Upernavik Archipelago, it has no ICAO code and handles only helicopter traffic. The heliport provides vital year-round links for passengers, mail, and supplies to Upernavik and other nearby settlements.
💡 Local Tip
Pack light and expect strict helicopter weight limits—excess baggage may be left behind, and flights often wait for fog, wind, or ice to clear.
🚖 Getting There
Innarsuit has no road connections to other towns, so access is by helicopter or, in summer, by local boat. Air Greenland helicopter flights link the heliport to Upernavik and nearby settlements, but seats are limited and schedules can change quickly with weather. Arrange transfers through Air Greenland or your accommodation, and allow extra time for delays.
