Atlantic Airways is moving from Stansted to Gatwick to operate an extended service to the Faro Islands.

The Faroese airline will fly twice a week on Mondays and Thursdays from late May to mid September, as well as flights at Easter.

Chief executive Magni Arge said: "We are delighted to be able to move our UK operations this year to London Gatwick, which is the preferred London airport for both our Faroese customers and for our UK outbound market."

The Faroe Islands, mid-way between Shetland and Iceland, have enjoyed increased interest due to the hit Danish TV drama on BBC4, ‘The Killing’.
