It is undergoing expansion with a new 2,200 m runway due to open in late 2026 to receive direct international flights.

This airport has seasonal commercial flights to Copenhagen, and its 3047 m long runway makes it international.
To ensure the image quality, I had to zoom out slightly so that it wouldn't be too blurry.
Technically, this airport is not only a US space base, but it also has commercial flights.
Fun fact: This airport has the longest runway in all of Greenland.
I wonder this airport is whose homebase in our members.

This airport offers a seasonal international flight to Keflavik International Airport in Iceland, which classifies the airport as international.

Note that the runway designations end in "T" because they're based on true rather than magnetic headings; that's standard for airports in the high Arctic.
This is a U.S. military base, operated within NATO under the 1951 Greenland Defense Agreement.
