Atlantic Airways to Italy

Faeroe Islands' flag carrier Atlantic Airways has added Milan to the list of destinations served direct from its North Atlantic base.

The Italian city is the eighth international destination served from Vágar Airport and is the second southern European destination to be linked to the islands since the introduction of flights to Barcelona last summer in the wake of the arrival of an Airbus A319 aircraft to its fleet.

Flights operate weekly on Saturdays to and from Milan Malpensa, with a flight time of 3hrs 30mins.  The direct service is enabled in large measure by Atlantic Airways’ investment in the latest satellite navigation technology, making it possible to operate to and from Vágar in visual and meteorological conditions that were not previously possible.  The runway, originally built by British Royal Engineers in WWII, was extended in 2011 to 1800m.  The Faeroe Islands are a self-governing territory of the Kingdom of Denmark. 

The airline operates two 144-seat single class A319 and two 94-seat single class Avro RJ95s. www.atlantic.fo
