✈️ Atlantic Airways Launches Historic U.S.–Faroe Islands Direct Flight

History is in the making! Atlantic Airways, the national carrier of the Faroe Islands, has launched its first-ever direct flight between the U.S. and the Faroe Islands—a game-changer for American travelers looking to explore this stunning North Atlantic archipelago.

Departing from New York Stewart International Airport (SWF), the new route connects to Vágar Airport (FAE) in just 7 hours, making travel to the Faroe Islands faster, easier, and more environmentally friendly.

🌍 A Greener, More Efficient Way to Travel

This nonstop flight not only saves time but also reduces carbon emissions by eliminating unnecessary stopovers. Previously, U.S. travelers had to connect through Iceland, Denmark, or the UK to reach the Faroe Islands. Now, they can fly directly while minimizing their environmental impact.

The route will operate once a week from August 22 to October 4, 2023:
