Uummannaq Heliport UMD / BGUM

Operated by Mittarfeqarfiit (Greenland Airports A/S), formed by the April 2024 merger of the former Mittarfeqarfiit and Kalaallit Airports A/S; a Greenland self-government enterprise under Naalakkersuisut, with a Danish state minority stake (33.33%) via Greenland Airports International A/S. Principal air gateway to Uummannaq town (pop. 1,391 in 2025, the largest settlement on the fjord) via Air Greenland's helicopter shuttle across Uummannaq Fjord to Qaarsut Airport (JQA/BGUQ), the town's only daily fixed-wing connection, plus government-contract settlement flights (mostly cargo, pre-bookable but not timetabled) to Ikerasak, Illorsuit, Niaqornat, Nuugaatsiaq, Saattut and Ukkusissat. Fleet on West Greenland district routes is H125/H155 following the 2019-2022 retirement of the AS350B3+ and 40-year-old Bell 212 fleets. Single 20x20 m asphalt FATO per the Danish AIP/OurAirports record and English Wikipedia (matching the 66x66 ft conversion); Danish Wikipedia and Mittarfeqarfiit's own reporting instead describe a larger 60x20 m paved landing area, so treat the exact footprint as unresolved between sources. Domestic-only, no customs/immigration or Schengen relevance. The only pax figure on record is 5,073 departing passengers (1,251 movements) from Mittarfeqarfiit's 2008 annual report, corroborated by Danish Wikipedia; no more recent per-heliport statistics have been published since, so treat this as a stale estimate rather than a current count.
