Narsarsuaq Airport (Greenlandic: Mittarfik Narsarsuaq; Danish: Narsarsuaq Lufthavn; IATA: UAK, ICAO: BGBW) is a domestic airport in Narsarsuaq, Kujalleq, Greenland. It was the only international airport in Kujalleq, until international flights were discontinued. Along with Nuuk Airport and Kangerlussuaq Airport, it is one of three civilian airports in Greenland capable of serving large aircraft.
The settlement in which it is located in, Narsarsuaq, is small, with the airport primarily functioning as a transfer point for passengers heading for the helicopter hubs of Air Greenland in Qaqortoq and Nanortalik.
The airport is due to be closed in late 2026 when Qaqortoq Airport is scheduled to open.
