There will be more tourist in the Faroe Islands as ever before this summer

The statistic from the Faroe Airport FAE shows this. The first seven months of 2016, passenger growth in the Faroes been 6%. This means that so far this year, 174,705 passengers traveled through the new terminal at Vagar, as opposed to 123,688 passengers for the first six months in 2015. There have been passenger growth in all months in 2016. The lowest growth was in June, when growth was only 1.8%, or 500 people. The improvement was due to a combination of the Faroese people travel more, and that there will be more tourists to the Faroes than before. In addition, the airport noted that regularity is high and it strengthens customer confidence that they actually comes off to the planned time. “Before runway extension and investments in new modern navigational equipment was a problem that the aircraft did not arrive on time due to special fog, it is fortunately a very rare problem now,” Jákup Sverri Kass, director of Vagar Airport, says, now also new CEO and chairman of the board in the new compagny Kalaallit Airports, who with a budget of one billion DKK will develop the Greenland Airports. Lufthansa on Vagar Track renewal and other investments has opened up the airport for a number of “new” types of aircraft. Besides Atlantic Airways has invested in the A319 and December get an A320, then other airlines tested other types of aircraft in the Faroe Islands. Most recently, Lufthansa visited the islands with an A320 NEO as part of a series of test flights. In July, expect the airport also to other airlines will fly to the Faroe Islands with ad hoc charter. A company has announced that they come with an A320 and about 180 passengers. This will also record with the largest number of passengers who arrived on a flight’s 144 passengers.
