A capital finally reachable by jet
Nuuk’s original airport opened in 1979 with a short runway for turboprops. For decades, travellers to the capital had to change planes at Kangerlussuaq, a former US air base far inland. A new 2,200-metre runway and terminal opened in November 2024, letting Air Greenland’s A330neo fly directly to Nuuk from Copenhagen.
What you’ll see on the live cam
The camera looks north over the runway and apron. Expect Air Greenland jets and Dash 8s, helicopters and, in summer, seasonal flights from North America. The backdrop of mountains and fjords, and the fast-changing Arctic weather, make it a fascinating stream.
Runway
A single runway, 05/23, now 2,200 metres long.
Best times to watch
- Summer: long days and extra seasonal flights.
- Winter: low sun and dramatic Arctic light.
