Kulusuk Airport (BGKK) sits on a small island off the east coast of Greenland, surrounded by one of the most visually striking and geographically remote environments on the planet. Flanked by rugged mountains, sprawling glaciers, and the icy waters of the Sermilik Fjord region, the airport occupies a unique position in Arctic aviation. In the real world, it serves as a critical lifeline for the isolated communities of eastern Greenland, handling everything from scheduled passenger services and cargo runs to medical evacuations and tourism flights. Its location also makes it a well-known waypoint for pilots undertaking transatlantic crossings — a stepping stone between North America, Iceland, and continental Europe. Now, developer Mr_Thomsen has brought this distinctive airfield to Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 with a custom scenery package.
The add-on centres on a handcrafted terminal exterior, replacing the default sim representation with a more faithful recreation of the real-world structure. The surrounding Arctic landscape provides the kind of dramatic visual backdrop that makes Greenlandic flying so compelling in the simulator — and BGKK is very much the sort of airport that rewards exploration at different times of day and in varied weather conditions. Those who enjoy challenging approaches in demanding environments will find plenty to appreciate here, as the airfield's combination of mountainous terrain and notorious Arctic weather keeps pilots alert throughout every phase of flight.
For sim pilots who enjoy cross-the-pond routing with smaller aircraft, BGKK makes for an excellent and atmospheric stopover. The airport is realistically sized for light turboprops and regional jets, making it well suited to the kinds of aircraft typically flown on island-hopping North Atlantic routes. Mr_Thomsen has already outlined plans for future development, with a terminal interior and additional buildings representing the nearby Kulusuk settlement both confirmed for an upcoming update.
