摘要

In the Atlantic Ocean, between Scotland and Iceland, lies the rugged archipelago of the Faroe Islands. The location of the 18 treeless, inhospitable islands and their subpolar oceanic climate ensures challenging weather conditions; it rains for around 300 days a year. Crews of Atlantic Airways, the Faroese flag carrier, skilfully operate a pair of Leonardo AW139 helicopters in the islands' rugged terrain and the daily strong winds and treacherous fog. The company provides domestic helicopter services, including regular scheduled flights, helicopter emergency medical services (HEMS), offshore operations and SAR. History and fleet Atlantic Airways has operated from the country's sole airport, Vágar, since March 1988. The airport, built by the Royal Engineers during World War Two, is home to the company's small fleet of aircraft and helicopters. As well as the AW139s, the company also operates an Airbus A320 and two A319s. In March 2019, the fleet will be expanded with a leased Airbus A320neo. Even though the number of aircraft is small, the fleet is modern. In 2012, Atlantic Airways was the first European airline to use required navigation performance - authorisation required (RNP AR) procedures. The RNP AR 0.1 clearance enables the Airbus fleet to perform satellite-based approaches and take-offs in challenging weather conditions, reducing operating minimiums. The technology has increased flight regularity to almost 99.8%. The fixed-wing fleet connects the Faroe Islands with various destinations on the European mainland.
