Airlines and destinations
| Airlines | Destinations |

| Air Greenland | Alluitsup Paa, Nanortalik, Narsaq, Narsarsuaq[3] |
| Air Greenland (settlement flights) | Ammassivik[3] |
Air Greenland operates government contract flights to villages in the Qaqortoq region. These mostly cargo flights are not featured in the timetable,[3] although they can be pre-booked.[4] 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.
Future
The future of the heliport is connected to the wider network of air traffic in southern Greenland. Presently there is a political discussion underway regarding construction of an airport near Qaqortoq.
