Atlantic Airways orders two new planes

Atlantic Airways has signed a contract with Airbus to buy two single-aisle A320neo aircraft. The airline, based in the Faroe Islands, aims to update its fleet to include only A320neo models, which are newer and more efficient than older versions.

New planes to be delivered in the 2030s

The two new aircraft are expected to be delivered at the start of the 2030s. Atlantic Airways currently operates four A320 family aircraft, including two A320neo models that were delivered in 2019 and 2020.

Airbus praises the airline's commitment

Benoît de Saint-Exupéry, executive vice president of sales for Airbus' commercial aircraft division, expressed satisfaction with the order. He noted that the airline's decision to add two more A320neo planes supports its goal of improving regional connectivity.

Atlantic Airways serves multiple European routes

Based at Vágar Airport, the only airport in the Faroe Islands, Atlantic Airways operates regular flights to several European cities, including Copenhagen, Paris, and London. These routes are supplemented by seasonal services.

Airline also handles internal and rescue flights

In addition to its scheduled services, Atlantic Airways provides flights to remote islands within the Faroe archipelago and conducts search and rescue missions using two Leonardo AW139 helicopters.
