Air Greenland operates government contract flights to villages in the Qaanaaq area. These mostly cargo flights are not featured in the timetable, although they can be pre-booked.[http://airgreenland.com/information/bestillingafrejse/rejseprodukter Air Greenland, fare system rules] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100713230958/http://airgreenland.com/information/bestillingafrejse/rejseprodukter |date=2010-07-13 }} Departure times for these flights as specified during booking are by definition approximate, with the settlement service optimized on the fly depending on local demand for a given day.

= Transfers at Pituffik Space Base =

Travellers bound for Pituffik Space Base in Pituffik are required to apply for access permit from either Rigsombudsmanden in Nuuk (residents of Greenland), or the Danish Foreign Ministry (all others).[http://airgreenland.com/information/voresdestinationer/flybilletter_til_pituffik_thule/ Air Greenland] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100617204451/http://airgreenland.com/information/voresdestinationer/flybilletter_til_pituffik_thule/ |date=2010-06-17 }} Failure to present the permit during check-in results in denial of boarding. The same rules apply for transfers at Pituffik, a stopover necessary for flights from Savissivik to Qaanaaq.
