Atlantic Airways Joins the Group of Main Sponsors of UArctic Congress 2026
We are very pleased to announce that Atlantic Airways will serve as one of the main sponsors of the UArctic Congress 2026 in Tórshavn. This partnership reflects a shared commitment to Arctic cooperation, accessibility, and the exchange of knowledge across borders.
As the national airline of the Faroe Islands, Atlantic Airways plays a central role in connecting the islands with the wider Arctic region and the rest of the world. Through its international routes and domestic services, the airline ensures accessibility and mobility – vital elements for dialogue, collaboration, and development across the North Atlantic.
By supporting the UArctic Congress 2026, Atlantic Airways contributes directly to enabling participation from across the Arctic and beyond. As part of its sponsorship, the airline is supporting student participation through discounted travel opportunities and will host a “Welcome Home” reception during the Congress week.
This partnership aligns closely with the Congress’s ambition to strengthen cooperation, knowledge exchange, and long-term sustainable development in the Arctic.
Below, Atlantic Airways shares their perspective on the partnership and their role as a main sponsor of the UArctic Congress 2026:
As the national airline of the Faroe Islands, Atlantic Airways is committed to ensuring connectivity, accessibility, and emergency preparedness in the North Atlantic region. We connect the Faroe Islands to the rest of the world through scheduled international services, while also providing essential inter-island helicopter transport.
In addition to our scheduled services, we also play a critical role in the Faroe Islands’ emergency response and search-and-rescue operations, contributing to safety and resilience across the islands.
Supporting the UArctic Congress 2026 is a natural extension of this commitment.
The Congress brings together researchers, decision-makers, and institutions from across the Arctic with a shared goal of strengthening cooperation, knowledge exchange, and sustainable development – values that align closely with Atlantic Airways.
We are proud to support the UArctic Congress 2026 as a main sponsor and are particularly pleased to contribute to student participation through discounted travel opportunities. We look forward to welcoming participants to the Faroe Islands in May 2026.
