Faroe Islands' Atlantic Airways secures Danish charter deal

Atlantic Airways (RC, Vágar) has signed a five-year contract with Folkeferie.dk wherein it will supply the Danish tour operator with capacity for flights to southern Europe with effect from next year.

Folkeferie currently uses Denmark's Jet Time (JO, Copenhagen Kastrup) and DAT - Danish Air Transport (DX, Kolding) to provide it with charter flights from Copenhagen Kastrup and Billund to Malta, Madeira and Greece.

For its part, the Faroese carrier's CEO, Jóhanna á Bergi, has hailed the agreement as a solution to its overcapacity concerns.

Atlantic Airways will use two of its A319-100s and a maiden A320-200 (sl), expected in December this year, to carry out the flights.

Atlantic Airways takes delivery of its new Airbus A319

Aircraft to boost travel to and from Faroe Islands

Atlantic Airways, the national carrier of the Faroe Islands has taken delivery of its Airbus A319 as part of its plan to increase its capacity, becoming Airbus’ newest operator, equipped with CFM engines.

The aircraft is configured in a single economy class layout with 144 seats. All passengers will benefit from state-of-art mood lighting and drop-down screens throughout the cabin. It will be deployed on route from Faroe Islands to Copenhagen, Denmark.

The aircraft will operate at Vágar Airport, which is known for having poor visibility due to extreme weather conditions. To ease approach procedures into Vágar Airport, Atlantic Airways has chosen Quovadis for flight operations consultancy services to design the first European Required Navigation Performance - Authorisation Required (RNP-AR) procedures. RNP-AR represents the most modern navigation technique, allowing the aircraft to fly precisely along a predefined route using on-board navigation systems and the GPS-based ‘Global Navigation Satellite System’ (GNSS).

Magni Arge, Chief Executive of Atlantic Airways, said: “We selected the A319 as our future platform having evaluated various alternatives. To provide us with optimal performance and range we have chosen the most powerful CFM engines for the aircraft. This one aircraft contract, even if small in size will have a significant input on our islands’ tourism and trade. We are proud to present Atlantic Airways` brand-new Airbus A319 on the occasion of its 24^th birthday”.

"We are pleased to welcome Atlantic Airways as a new Airbus operator," said John Leahy, Chief Operating Officer, Customers, Airbus. “We congratulate Atlantic Airways on this first Airbus aircraft delivery and we are confident the airline will benefit from the proven reliability, outstanding and unbeatable low operating costs the industry’s best-selling single aisle product line offers."
