Figures from Vagar Airport show that there is a record-number of tourists coming to the Faroe Islands in 2017.

The foundation and continuous work by Visit Faroe Islands and the Faroese tourism-industry seems to be paying off.

This together with a strong Faroese economy driving domestic demand and business travel, and Atlantic Airways and SAS competing on the route between the Faroe Islands and Copenhagen, seems to be stirring the passenger growth.

– With both Atlantic Airways and SAS competing on the route between the Faroe Islands and Copenhagen, the prices of tickets have decreased and there has been an increased awareness on the Faroe Islands as a tourism-destination. Furthermore Atlantic Airways has a record-number of direct-routes from the Faroe Islands to Europe in 2017; this opens up accessibility to and from the Faroe Islands”, says Jákup Sverri Kass, CEO at Vagar Airport.
