The airport has a single runway designated 13/31 which measures 799 by 30 m (2,621 by 98 ft), built on the northern shore of Kangerluarsunnguaq Bay.

Air Greenland pledges to maintain a relatively high number of flights at the airport even should the construction of the road to Kangerlussuaq commence.

In the short term, there are plans to extend the runway a little, in connection with the replacement of the Air Greenland fleet.

At the terminal there is a Post Greenland box, a soft drink machine and television, and a small exhibition from the Sisimiut Museum.

Taxis as well as an infrequent town bus service connect the airport with the center of Sisimiut.
