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.
First comment.
This airport offers a seasonal international flight to Keflavik International Airport in Iceland, which classifies the airport as international.
Runway 08T-26T
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.
Operated by the U.S.
This is a U.S. military base, operated within NATO under the 1951 Greenland Defense Agreement.
Heliport closed
No one lives in the village any longer, so the heliport has been closed. See Wikipedia link
