Sisimiut Airport

JHS is the IATA code for Sisimiut Airport, serving Sisimiut, Greenland's second-largest town, on the country's central west coast north of the Arctic Circle. The airport has a gravel runway and functions as a key node in Greenland's domestic air network, since no road connects Sisimiut to other settlements. Air Greenland operates scheduled flights linking JHS to Kangerlussuaq, the country's main international gateway, and to other coastal towns. Sisimiut's economy relies on fishing and increasingly tourism, including winter dog-sledding and hiking excursions, and the airport is the primary way visitors and cargo reach the town outside of seasonal shipping routes.
