Welcome to East Greenland!

Icelandair operates direct flights from Iceland to 4 destinations in Greenland. Just a short, 1-hour and 50-minute direct flight from Iceland's Keflavík Airport (KEF) takes you to the village of Kulusuk (KUS), situated on the island of the same name in East Greenland.

Both the airport and the village are very small, with a population of around 240 and limited services, although there is a hotel. Most travellers use Kulusuk as a springboard to the riches of the region. In the remote east, the beauty of the country's natural wilderness combines with the Inuit cultural experience to create a truly memorable experience for visitors. Planning a trip to Greenland?
