Airlines and destinations

Because of passenger capacity, the helicopters do up to four flights for each departing airplane. There are 50 minutes between these helicopter departures, causing a longer total travel time for many passengers.[5] The distance by helicopter to Nerlerit Inaat is 38 kilometres (24 mi).

Relocation

The Nerlerit Inaat Airport may be relocated [6] to a new site on Liverpool Land much closer to Ittoqqortoormiit, between the settlement and Uunarteq (Kap Tobin) to the south, thus eliminating the need for helicopter transfers.[7] The project would be economical if the need for the helicopter could be eliminated, but it is needed for search and rescue also.[7]
