Nuugaatsiaq Heliport (IATA: JUU, ICAO: BGNQ) is a heliport in Nuugaatsiaq, a village in the 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 Uummannaq Fjord region. These mostly cargo flights are not featured in the timetable, although they can be pre-booked.
