Greenland is a vast autonomous territory within the Kingdom of Denmark .

Its capital Nuuk , on the southwestern coast, is a small town of 18,000 residents.

It is the first of three airport projects that officials hope will boost the local economy.

From 28 November , direct flights to Nuuk will operate from Copenhagen , carrying more than 300 passengers.

In 2026 , a second international airport will open in Greenland ’s most popular tourist destination.

Politicians hope new infrastructure will be a shot in the arm for sectors like mining and tourism.

Greenland ’s economy is largely dependent on the public sector and fishing, but there are efforts to diversify.

With larger cargo planes soon to be able to land in Nuuk , more goods can come in and exports can more easily go out.
