Car hire Vagar Airport
Vagar Airport has for many years been the gateway to an incredible vacation destination which most visitors won't be able to stop talking about for weeks (maybe even years) to come. The airport was built during the Second World War by the British and started being operational in 1942 when the first plane landed. It's natural surroundings gave it protection from unwanted visitors such as German warships. After the war the airfield was left abandoned and it wouldn't be used again until 1963 but only this time for civilian use. It were two locals, Hugo Fjørðoy and Lars Larsen, who gave the initial push which resulted in Icelandair, an Icelandic airline, starting to have scheduled flights to the islands. It wasn't after long that a second airline company, Faroe Airways, started having regular flights the island and in the years to come different airline companies started operating to and from Vagar Airport.
