Operated by Mittarfeqarfiit (Greenland Airports). Air Greenland AS350 helicopter provides the scheduled domestic link to Ittoqqortoormiit (~38-40 km; town served via Ittoqqortoormiit Heliport), while Icelandic operator Norlandair flies fixed-wing (DHC-6 Twin Otter) scheduled international service to/from Iceland (Akureyri/Reykjavik) — CNP is therefore an international airport of entry with customs for international arrivals. TIMEZONE CORRECTED: since 29-30 Oct 2023 the Ittoqqortoormiit/Nerlerit Inaat area uses West Greenland Time (UTC-2 std, UTC-1 DST); the previous UTC-1/0 East Greenland Time is obsolete. A Sept 2025 Denmark-Greenland framework agreement (DKK 1.6bn, 2026-2029) funds a new airport directly at Ittoqqortoormiit to replace remote CNP, which would change its role.
