From Europe:
To fly to the Faroe Islands, the best airline to choose is Atlantic Airways. It is a Faroese airline, with many decades of experience flying in our sometimes rough Atlantic weather. Also, should any flights be delayed or cancelled, Atlantic Airways will compensate you somehow, or at least won’t leave you hanging. Atlantic Airways flies from many European destinations, including the U.K. and Norway.
SAS is another airline which does fly to the Faroe Islands, however only from Copenhagen, Denmark. These flights may be cheaper than those of Atlantic Airways, but provide less compensation in the event of delays or cancellation.
European cities with direct flights to the Faroe Islands (via Atlantic Airways):
Reykjavik, Iceland
Edinburgh, Scotland
Copenhagen (also via SAS), Denmark
Aalborg, Denmark
Billund, Denmark
Bergen, Norway
