Prices & conditions
The Atlantic Airways scheduled helicopter service is subsidised by the Faroese authorities. The aim is to link the islands together and to give people on the outer islands a regular and flexible connection with the main region.
Below you will find an overview of the costs for cargo and tickets.
The price for the scheduled helicopter service changed on 1 September 2022. The cost of the journey is set according to where you have your residence.
