Atlantic Airwaysthe national airline of Faroe Islandsinaugurated its new service between the Faroe Islands and New York on Tuesday, August 22, 2023.
This seasonal route, initiated before the pandemic, confirms the company’s ambitions to continue its expansion and responds to very strong local demand.

With a population of 55,000, our great ocean nation has now intertwined with the bustling life of a nation that is home to millions. It is an honor and a privilege to serve as a bridge between two worlds – bringing cultures, people and opportunities together. Our business is not limited to moving individuals from one place to another; we work to create links between people, to promote mutual understanding and to enhance the quality of life for all through enriching experiences. »
