Due to its remote location, access to Thule Air Base is by airplane. When traveling from Copenhagen there are two ways of getting to Thule Air Base.
Direct Charter
There is a direct monthly charter (Airbus 330) between Copenhagen and Thule.
The direct charter is scheduled approximately once every month (on a Wednesday at 8:25am) from Copenhagen directly to Thule Air Base, and after a short stopover it returns to Copenhagen the same day. The flight time is about 5 hours each way.
