Loganair’s current schedule will provide over 1,000 flights each week across 46 routes, offering unrivalled connectivity for Scotland and with operations stretching as far afield as London, Norwich, Manchester, Dublin, and Bergen in Norway using a fleet of 28 aircraft. It has almost 300 flights each week to and from Glasgow, and is the largest operator at key airports throughout the Highlands & Islands including Inverness, Sumburgh, Kirkwall and Stornoway.
Atlantic Airways'new strategy has already committed it to increasing its services from the Atlantic archipelago to nearby Iceland and Norway, alongside its core routes to Denmark and the addition of a route to Scotland this year marked the final piece of the jigsaw.
Vagar Airport was originally a military installation, built by British forces during World War II. In the early 1960s the need and popular demand in the Faroe Islands for civil aviation grew to the point of modernising the runway to facilitate passenger traffic. It became operational for civil aviation in 1963, initially restricted to just propeller aircraft, but since 1977 jet aircraft have been able to use the airport.
Atlantic Airways focuses primarily on providing the Faroe Islands with important air services to neighbouring countries, including Denmark, the UK, Iceland, and Norway but it is also involved in increasingly important activity in other markets including charter contracts throughout northern and central Europe.
