Air Greenland operates government contract flights to villages in the Tasiilaq regions. These are mostly cargo flights that 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.

Future

There are political discussions on building a new airport at Tasiilaq, the major settlement in the region, and to close the Kulusuk Airport.[http://sermitsiaq.ag/node/112564 Kangerlussuaq lukkes] (in Danish)
