Ilulissat Airport — Ilulissat, Greenland

JAV is the code for Ilulissat Airport, serving the town of Ilulissat on Greenland's western coast, near the UNESCO-listed Ilulissat Icefjord famous for its massive calving glacier. The airport is a key gateway for tourists visiting the icefjord and for cruise and adventure travel operators active in the region. As with much of Greenland, the airfield has historically operated with a gravel runway suited to smaller turboprop aircraft, though plans and construction efforts have targeted a longer, paved runway to enable direct international jet service in the future. JAV connects Ilulissat primarily to other Greenlandic communities and to Denmark via connecting flights, making it an essential link for both tourism and local transportation in this remote Arctic setting.
