After facing regulatory hurdles, Vága Airport in the Faroe Islands has finally obtained approval to receive FarCargo’s Boeing 757-200 aircraft.
Regin I. Jakobsen, the airport manager, confirmed that next week, FarCargo’s Boeing aircraft registered SE-RLE will be able to land and take off from Vága airport with final approval. The airport had received an interim licence over a month ago, but challenges arose due to the larger wingspan of FarCargo’s aircraft compared to the airport’s specifications.
Despite a previous setback where the aircraft was unable to land due to regulatory restrictions, next week’s approval signals a positive development for the airport and the Swedish company West Atlantic, which operates the aircraft for FarCargo.
The company will operate twice weekly flights to Brussels Airport, with a cargo essentially of fresh salmon.
