Kangilinnguit Heliport (IATA: JGR) serves Kangilinnguit, a small settlement in southwestern Greenland formerly known as Grønnedal, on the shores of Arsuk Fjord. The heliport is the settlement's primary air link, with helicopter services connecting to Narsarsuaq and other South Greenland communities. Its fjord-side setting near the old Danish naval base makes it a quiet gateway for hikers, boaters, and visitors exploring the Arsuk area.
💡 Local Tip
Frequent visitors watch the fjord weather, not just the forecast for Narsarsuaq—low cloud and wind can delay helicopters even when nearby areas look clear.
🚖 Getting There
There are no roads linking Kangilinnguit to other towns, so helicopter is the standard way in and out. Most visitors connect through Narsarsuaq, which has the region's main airport and helicopter transfers. The heliport is within walking distance of the settlement; arrange luggage help or local transport in advance if needed.
