History
The airport was built in 1985 by the US oil company ARCO in connection with oil exploration in Jameson Land. It was sold to Greenland in 1990. Previously, Air Greenland offered fixed wing flights to Kangerlussuaq and Nuuk.
In summer 2004 the airport was the destination of an arctic trip by two German microlight pilots flying a Flight Design CT2K light aircraft.
On July 28, 2021, in Nerlerit Inaat Airport, a temperature of 23.2 °C (73.8 °F) was recorded.
The relocation of the airport to a new site on Liverpool Land closer to Ittoqqortoormiit, between the settlement and Uunarteq cape (Danish: Kap Tobin) to the south has been considered since the 2000s. This would eliminate the need for helicopter transfers. In 2025, a decision was made to construct an airport in Ittoqqortoormiit, financed by the Danish state.
