Flights to Tórshavn
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Tórshavn is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is Vágar Airport (FAE), 27 km (17 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 5,905 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft.
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vágar Airport | FAE | 27 km (17 mi) | 5,905 ft | 280 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 5,905 ft, FAE handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 280 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
