Uummannaq 'airport'
Neighboring Qaarsut Airport, located on Nuussuaq Peninsula on the other side of the Uummannaq fjord is the only daily connection available from Uummannaq,[6] serving Dash-7 aircraft of Air Greenland.[7] It functions as a mini-hub for Uummannaq,[8] marketed as Uummannaq Airport regardless of its actual location, registration, documentation, and existing booking systems.
