Greenland is set to open a new international airport in Nuuk, which will allow larger aircraft to land and facilitate direct flights from the US and Europe. This is expected to boost the local economy significantly by improving accessibility for tourism and goods transport. The airport is part of a larger $800 million project which includes additional airports in Ilulissat and Qaqartoq. The new infrastructure aims to enhance tourism, increase export capacity for local businesses like Polar Seafoods, and support economic diversification away from reliance on fishing and public sector jobs.
