The Faroe Islands are gaining visibility in the French market.

Since April 24, 2026, Atlantic Airways has been operating a seasonal direct link between Paris-Charles de Gaulle and Vágar Airport.

After a start with two weekly frequencies, the carrier has shifted to three flights per week since May 27, 2026, on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, until September 4. The service will then continue at two rotations per week until October 16, 2026.

The stated objective is to meet growing demand for nature-based destinations that remain pristine and easily accessible from France.

With a non-stop flight time of 2 hours 40 minutes, the Paris–Vágar link places the Faroe Islands among the territories closest to the European Far North.

For a long time kept off the European tourist circuits, the Faroe Islands are now attracting travelers seeking more immersive experiences, away from saturated destinations.


A destination oriented toward more responsible tourism

Spring and early summer are the best periods for exploring the archipelago: increased daylight, optimal hiking conditions, and easier access to maritime excursions.

In this context, Visit Faroe Islands continues to promote a more responsible approach to tourism through its campaign “Please Visit Responsibly”.

This initiative encourages visitors to adopt respectful behaviors: protect wildlife, close gates, reduce noise levels, and favor local operators.

A move backed by Atlantic Airways, which invites its passengers to inform themselves about these best practices before their departure.

In addition to this seasonal direct link, the airline also provides annual connectivity via Copenhagen in partnership with Air France, thereby strengthening the archipelago’s accessibility from several European markets.
