airports (11 airports). 13 airports are included, not Thule air base. Future At a late 2011 Air Greenland meeting, plans to move the main Greenland intercontinental air hub away from Kangerlussuaq were agreed upon. From 2011 it has not been possible to buy new aircraft, except for very small ones, which can use the airstrips which are common in Greenland including Nuuk Airport. So something needs to be done before the fleet of Bombardier Dash 8 Q200 is retired in future (before 2030). A decision was made in 2016 to extend the runways of both Nuuk airport and Ilulissat airport to , allowing them to receive medium size jetliners from Denmark. Also to replace Narsarsuaq with a new airport at Qaqortoq. Construction start of Nuuk was late 2019. Alongside Kangerlussuaq, if airports at Qaqortoq, Tasiilaq and Ittoqqortoormiit are built, the airports at Narsarsuaq, Kulusuk and Nerlerit Inaat will also be closed. The remaining airports in Greenland will keep their short size and smaller aircraft be used for them.
