Tasiusaq Heliport (TQA/BGTA) is a small helicopter facility serving the remote settlement of Tasiusaq in the Upernavik Archipelago of northwestern Greenland. Located at 73.373°N, 56.060°W, it provides a vital link to Upernavik and other settlements where no roads exist. The heliport is basic and weather-dependent, so schedules can change quickly.
💡 Local Tip
Frequent visitors know to build a buffer day into their itinerary: fog, wind, and ice can cancel helicopter flights with little notice, and the next available seat may be days later.
🚖 Getting There
Tasiusaq has no road link to the rest of Greenland, so access is by helicopter, typically from Upernavik, or by boat in the ice-free season. Allow extra time for weather delays and confirm connections with Air Greenland or local boat operators. Once in Tasiusaq, the heliport is close to the settlement and easily reached on foot.
