Airport guide

Pituffik Space Base (BGTL) is a medium airport in Pituffik, Greenland. Pilots and dispatchers reference it by ICAO code BGTL or IATA code THU. It sits in North America.

Pituffik Space Base is a regional commercial airport that doubles as a busy private-aviation base. Operators benefit from full instrument approaches and an FBO infrastructure scaled for regular jet traffic, often without the congestion of the nearest major hub.

Pituffik Space Base sits near sea level at 251 ft.

Local operations run on America/Thule. Scheduled airline service is light enough that it rarely interferes with charter movements, though planners should still expect to coordinate with the handling agent for international turnarounds.
