Innaarsuit Heliport (IATA: IUI, ICAO: BGIN) is a heliport in Innaarsuit, a village in the Upernavik Archipelago of Qaasuitsup municipality in northwestern Greenland. The heliport is considered a helistop, and is served by Air Greenland as part of a government contract.
Air Greenland operates government contract flights to villages in the Upernavik area. These mostly cargo flights are not featured in the timetable, although they can be pre-booked. Departure times for these flights as specified during booking are by definition approximate, with the settlement service optimized on the fly depending on local demand for a given day.
In 1993 a Bell 212 helicopter operated by Grønlandsfly, crashed near Innarsuit. Four killed (both pilots and two passengers) of seven on board.
