1st international airport opens in Nuuk, Greenland; $800 million project for 3 airports partially financed by Denmark.

Greenland is set to enhance accessibility with the opening of its first international airport in Nuuk, launching direct flights from Copenhagen and eventually from the US and Europe. Two additional airports in Ilulissat and Qaqortoq are planned, all part of an $800 million project partly financed by Denmark. While there are concerns about noise and environmental impacts, many locals see this as a significant opportunity for tourism and economic growth.
