## Description

A long runway and famously stable weather once made Kangerlussuaq (SFJ) Greenland's transatlantic gateway — until the new international runway at Nuuk took over the role in late 2024. Set at the head of a long fjord, the airport now sees mostly Air Greenland domestic flights. Dedicated freighters are gone; the national cargo hub is Nuuk (GOH, about 320 km), with heavy freight arriving by sea via Royal Arctic Line.
