Distance & flight time from CNP
Neerlerit Inaat Airport
Few airports anywhere serve a more sparsely populated hinterland than CNP, a gravel-strip facility in the Jameson Land region of eastern Greenland that exists mainly to connect the outside world with Ittoqqortoormiit, often cited as one of the most isolated towns on Earth, and the surrounding Scoresby Sund fjord system, the largest of its kind on the planet. Also known internationally as Constable Point, the airfield has no significant permanent settlement of its own, functioning instead as a transfer point where visitors bound for Scoresby Sund's dramatic icebergs and wildlife often continue onward by helicopter or boat. Flights typically connect through Iceland, reflecting eastern Greenland's near-total lack of road infrastructure and its dependence on seasonal air links for supplies, medical evacuation, and the small tourist trade drawn to one of the Arctic's most remote landscapes.
