Qaqortoq Heliport (IATA: JJU, ICAO: BGJH) is a heliport in the southern part[1] of Qaqortoq, a town in the Kujalleq municipality in southern Greenland. The distance to Narsarsuaq Airport, the only airport with flights from Qaqortoq, is 59 kilometres (37 mi).
A large international airport is currently under construction as of 2024, and is due to be complete by late 2026. Equipped with a 1,500 metre runway, it will replace the current heliport as well as fixed-wing flights from Narsarsuaq Airport.[3]
