Situated at an altitude of 135 feet, it functions as a vital gateway for one of the northernmost inhabited areas in North America. The airport provides essential connectivity for the residents, facilitating transportation of goods, medical services, and travel. Due to its unique location above the Arctic Circle, operations are influenced by extreme weather conditions, requiring specialized aircraft and trained pilots adept at handling cold weather logistics. As one of the few critical infrastructures in the region, Grise Fiord Airport plays a pivotal role in supporting the local Inuit population and fostering regional connectivity. |
