Initially the airline was jointly owned with the Faroese Government commanding a majority stake of 51% and Danish airline Cimber Air holding the remaining 49%. Later, in 1989, the government bought out Cimber Air's stake and assumed full control over Atlantic Airways. The airline's first official passenger flight was on March 28, 1988 between Vágar and Copenhagen.
The airline's fleet is made up of both standard aeroplanes and helicopter craft with the former represented largely by BAe models of various descriptions and the latter by a number of variations of the Bell Textron craft.The airline serves a small number of European destinations covering Great Britain, Denmark, Norway, Iceland and Greenland.
