I guess a cracking runway isn’t good news for any plane wanting to use the airport.

That would be highly improbable: getting that crack in the middle of the runway

I wouldn’t believe a word of that and in any event there’s an ambitious plan to enlarge the runways in lulissat and Nuuk to accommodate medium range airline traffic and to install a 799 m runway in Qaqortoq.
