Airport Closure Information

Last updated: Jul 25, 2025
Closure Date

Not applicable. The airport is a fictitious entity and never existed.

Reason for Closure

Not applicable. Research indicates that 'Junëiat Ice Landing Strip' is a data artifact or a phantom entry in online databases, not a real-world location that was ever operational and subsequently closed.

Current Status

The coordinates 73.440427, -36.606445 point to a remote, featureless location on the Greenland Ice Sheet, far from any known settlements or research stations. High-resolution satellite imagery of this location shows no signs of a landing strip, buildings, or any other form of human infrastructure, past or present.

Historical Significance

This airport has no historical significance as it is not a real place. Key points supporting this conclusion are:
1. **Invalid ICAO Code:** The identifier 'GL-0016' is not a valid ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization) code. Official ICAO aerodrome codes for Greenland begin with the prefix 'BG'. 'GL' is the country code, not an ICAO location prefix.
2. **Unknown Name:** The name 'Junëiat' does not correspond to any known geographical feature, settlement, or historical expedition site in Greenland in Greenlandic, Danish, or English records.
3. **Lack of Evidence:** There are no official government records, aviation charts, historical expedition logs, or news reports that mention an airstrip with this name or identifier.

Reopening Prospects

There are no plans or prospects for reopening, as the airport never existed in the first place.
