Moriusaq Heliport
heliport in Greenland
Moriusaq Heliport (ICAO: BGMO) was a heliport in Moriusaq, a depopulated village in Avannaata municipality in northern Greenland. The heliport was considered a helistop, and was served by Air Greenland as part of a government contract. By 2012, the village population had dwindled to 0, and thus operations at the heliport have been discontinued.
Airlines and destinations
Air Greenland operated government contract flights to villages in the Qaanaaq area. These mostly cargo flights were not featured in the timetable, although they could be pre-booked. Departure times for these flights as specified during booking were by definition approximate, with the settlement service optimized on the fly depending on local demand for a given day.
