Flight logistics
All of the relevant international flights can be made easily online. The details below are for 2023.
Into Greenland:
To reach the start point of Kangerlussuaq situated in west Greenland, flights are with Air Greenland from Copenhagen, Denmark. This is currently the only carrier and route available from Europe or North America into Kangerlussuaq at this time of year. The Air Greenland flight on Saturday 22 April 2023 is the suggested entry flight to Kangerlussuaq (Flight time is 4 hours 40 minutes). This flight is not included in the expedition price and can easily be arranged on the Air Greenland website. The standard flexible fare or premium flexible fare are suggested.
Out of Greenland:
We ski into Isortoq to end our expedition on or about Monday 22 May 2023.
From Isortoq, we take a 30 minute helicopter from Isortoq to Tasiilaq. From Tasiilaq, we take a 10 minute helicopter from Tasiilaq to Kulusuk. These helicopters are not included in the expedition price and shall be arranged by us closer to the expedition finish with costing provided at that time.
From Kulusuk, a runway enables planes to land for the onward flight on to Reykjavik, Iceland. Air Iceland fly from Kulusuk to Reykjavik, Iceland, which is the gateway to East Greenland. The Air Iceland Connect flight can be easily arranged on its website, with date full-flexibility recommended. This flight is not included in the expedition price and is arranged by you. The Air Iceland flight departing on Saturday 27 May 2023 leaving Kulusuk and arriving at Reykjavik downtown airport is the suggested exit flight.
From Reykjavik international airport, daily flights to many European/North American destinations are possible.
If you require assistance in making any of the international flight arrangements, please feel free to contact us, as we have expert knowledge on the flight logistics in and out of Greenland and Iceland and can readily offer assistance and advice.
When making flight arrangements, please bear in mind that if we encounter very bad weather or other unforeseen delay on the expedition, the end date may be exceeded by up to several days. Although we will do our best to avoid any such delay, your flight tickets out of East Greenland should be of the flexible kind to allow date changes. Similarly, a fast moving expedition in good weather conditions can complete the expedition in 24-27 days, hence the possibility of departing Greenland earlier than the itinerary dates.
