Atlantic Airways is an international company whose corporate culture is characterised by its focus on safety, punctuality, customer satisfaction and obtaining the best results. Around 280 people are currently employed by the Faroese national airline, which is based in Sørvágur. (2024)

Atlantic Airways operates four aircraft and two helicopters. The aircraft provides regular air service from the Faroe Islands to a range of Danish cities and the neighbouring countries, Scotland, Iceland and Norway. During the summer, the aircraft fly south to provide air service to the ‘Sun Routes’ in addition to the air service #SÓLUMVETURIN during the winter months to the Canary Islands.

The company’s activities abroad include chartering, and part of the revenue is generated outside of the Faroe Islands. The helicopter department provides scheduled air service between the outer islands, search and rescue services and offshore flights in the North Atlantic.

In addition, Atlantic Airways owns and operates a flight school for both A320 aircraft and AW139 helicopters, Atlantic Airways Aviation Academy, as well as two hotels: Hilton Garden Inn Faroe Islands and Hotel Vágar.
