Nuuk Airport Arctic Aviation Fuel Station

The primary fuel facility at Nuuk Airport handles both aviation fuel and automotive diesel/gasoline for the capital region. Located adjacent to the terminal, this station serves as the main refueling point for overlanders tackling the Kapisillit Glacier Valley or Narsaq to Qassiarsuk routes. The facility operates year-round but can experience supply delays during winter storms.

Access is straightforward via the airport road, though fuel prices reflect Greenland’s remote location and import costs. Stock up here before heading south toward the Viking heritage sites or north to the ice cap access roads — next reliable fuel is often 200+ kilometers away.
