About Vágar Flugvøllur

The Faroe Islands' only airport, perched on a plateau above Sørvágsvatn lake. Check conditions here before your flight.

Vágar Airport is notorious for weather-related delays and diversions. Fog is the biggest issue — the airport sits at 85m on an exposed plateau, and low cloud regularly drops visibility below landing minimums. Crosswinds are the second problem. Check conditions here before heading to the airport.

The airport is frequently affected by fog and strong crosswinds, which can delay or divert flights.
