Jan 25, 2023 (newstodate): The Faroe Islands' Vagar Airport managed a growth by 19 percent, y-o-y, in 2022.
A total of 808 tonnes of cargo was handled at the airport, in addition to 191 tonnes of mail, which was however a drop by 20.5 percent.
Vagar Airport is now looking into an entirely new future with the launch of the cargo carrier FarCargo.
Serving its primary owner Bakkafrost, FarCargo will take delivery of its Boeing 757-200 freighter late in this year's Q1, with plans for flights to carry seafood to the US market as well as to Israel, reportedly aiming at up to five weekly US-bound flights and one weekly operation to Israel.
