FAROE ISLANDS<br />
Growing more than 10pc<br />
Vagar Airport on the Faroe<br />
Islands shows until November 1.<br />
an increase of over 10 pc.<br />
Including October, the airport expects<br />
to equal the total passengerfigure of the<br />
whole of 2014.<br />
This means, that the airport before the<br />
last two months of the year will pass last<br />
year`s by some 30.000 passengers<br />
Jakup Sverri Kass, CEO of the airport:<br />
“This means we hope to pass <strong>28</strong>0.000<br />
pax in 2015, which will make the airport<br />
number 4 in the Danish Kingdom with international<br />
pax after we last year passed<br />
Aarhus Airport on international pax. And<br />
please remember we have a catchmenarea<br />
of 50.000, while Aarhus has 300.000. Our<br />
ambition grow more and overtake Aarhus<br />
Airport in total figures before long.”<br />
Both domestic and tourists have well<br />
received the new terminal. Travelers thrive<br />
at the facilities and the new tax-free shop<br />
has become a big source of income for the<br />
operation of the airport and is part of the<br />
basis for further development of Vagar<br />
Airport. Vagar Airport has already announced<br />
that the airport will expand<br />
New airlines are often visiting the islands in the North Atlantic.<br />
the parking lot so that you go from good<br />
380 parking spaces for about 800 parking<br />
spaces.<br />
“A better revenue base has made it possible<br />
for Vagar Airport to lower the total<br />
passenger fee from 185DKK to 165DKK.<br />
In addition, the airport has given Atlantic<br />
Airways big discounts on the new routes<br />
to Edinburgh, Mallorca and Barcelona.<br />
Atlantic Airways has also got a special discount<br />
on the improved frequenser Bergen<br />
and Reykjavik,” the director says.<br />
The airport is using close to 4 M DKK to<br />
lower passenger fees and support Atlantic<br />
Airways this year. Next year the airport is<br />
planing to increase support for new directroutes<br />
that are believed to benefit the Faroese<br />
tourism industry.<br />
