Air Greenland operates government contract flights to villages in the Uummannaq Fjord region.

These mostly cargo flights are not featured in the timetable,[4] although they can be pre-booked.

[5] Departure times for these flights as specified during booking are by definition approximate, with the settlement service optimized on the fly depending on local demand for a given day.

Neighboring Qaarsut Airport, located on Nuussuaq Peninsula on the other side of the Uummannaq fjord is the only daily connection available from Uummannaq,[6] serving Dash-7 aircraft of Air Greenland.

[7] It functions as a mini-hub for Uummannaq,[8] marketed as Uummannaq Airport regardless of its actual location, registration, documentation, and existing booking systems.
