Siorapaluk Heliport (SRK/BGSI) serves Siorapaluk, Greenland's northernmost settlement and one of the world's northernmost inhabited communities, on the Hayes Peninsula in Avannaata municipality. The heliport provides a vital year-round helicopter link to Qaanaaq and other nearby settlements, since no roads connect the village to the rest of Greenland. Its remote Arctic location means flights are highly weather-dependent and the facility is intentionally basic.
💡 Local Tip
Pack any specialized gear, medications, or favorite snacks before leaving Qaanaaq—Siorapaluk's small store has limited supplies, and flight delays can leave you in the village longer than planned.
🚖 Getting There
The only reliable year-round access is by Air Greenland helicopter from Qaanaaq, so book well in advance and reconfirm your flight before departure. In summer, local boats may offer an alternative from Qaanaaq when sea conditions allow; in winter and spring, snowmobiles or dogsleds are used across the ice. Allow extra buffer days because Arctic weather can delay or cancel helicopter operations with little notice.
