Maniitsoq Airport (kl|Mittarfik Maniitsoq) is an airport located on Maniitsoq Island, 0.5NM northwest of Maniitsoq, a town in the Qeqqata municipality in central-western Greenland. It can serve STOL aircraft, although there is no deicing equipment at the airport, which is costly and problematic in Greenlandic winter.[1]
