About this route:
A direct, nonstop flight between Nuuk Airport (GOH), Nuuk, Greenland and Ilford Airport (ILF), Ilford, Manitoba, Canada would travel a Great Circle distance of 1,575 miles (or 2,535 kilometers).
A Great Circle is the shortest distance between 2 points on a sphere. Because most world maps are flat (but the Earth is round), the route of the shortest distance between 2 points on the Earth will often appear curved when viewed on a flat map, especially for long distances. If you were to simply draw a straight line on a flat map and measure a very long distance, it would likely be much further than if you were to lay a string between those two points on a globe. Because of the relatively short distance between Nuuk Airport and Ilford Airport, the route shown on this map most likely still appears to be a straight line.

- With the airport being limited to serving small planes, the possibilities for international connections remain limited.
- There are plans of extending the runway to 1,199 m.
- Because of Nuuk Airport's relatively low elevation of 283 feet, planes can take off or land at Nuuk Airport at a lower air speed than at airports located at a higher elevation. This is because the air density is higher closer to sea level than it would otherwise be at higher elevations.
- These well-grounded arguments for preserving the status quo pose a problem for the Government of Greenland, which oversees the development of the airport network through Mittarfeqarfiit, the airport administration authority.
- Another option mentioned is to have Keflavik, Iceland as the international hub, close Kangerlussuaq, and expand Nuuk Airport runway slightly, so small jet planes can use it.
