Exciting news for anyone who is interested in or planning a fly fishing trip to Greenland! Direct flights from the U.S. into the capital city of Nuuk will start later this year. Previously, travelers were forced to fly into Copenhagen before then flying to Greenland, adding quite a bit of travel time to both legs. Coming soon, anglers can fly straight from Newark into Nuuk.

"Come this fall, it’ll be easier than ever to visit Greenland. The opening of a new international airport in Nuuk, the capital city, is set to bust the door wide open for tourism, with flights starting in late November. It’s one of three new airports the country is building through 2026 to attract more visitors.
The airport is a big deal because, well, it’s traditionally been challenging to fly to Greenland. Flights had to connect through internal Greenland cities, Iceland, or Denmark, and there was no capacity for larger commercial jets. The new airport and its much longer runway will simplify getting to Greenland and open up to new destinations, cutting down the need for multiple transfers and, hopefully, the frequent flight cancellations that currently occur due to the limitations of the smaller airports."

Yellow Dog currently offers three offerings in Greenland, where anglers have the opportunity to fish for some of the least pressured and largest Arctic char in the world. To learn more about this program, Contact Yellow Dog.
