Faroe Islands' Atlantic Airways retires last A319

Atlantic Airways (RC, Vágar) retired its only A319-100 on December 10, 2022, thus completing its transition to an all-A320 fleet.

At just 10.8 years old, OY-RCG (msn 5079) operated its last revenue flight on the carrier's core route from Copenhagen Kastrup to Vágar. After short maintenance in the Faroese capital, it was ferried via Bangor to Greenwood, MS on December 15, 2022, Flightradar24 ADS-B data shows. The aircraft is owned by the airline and had been operated by Atlantic Airways since its delivery in 2012 when it became the airline's first narrowbody aircraft. Between July 2021 and June 2022, it was dry-leased to Spain's One Airways (OEW, Madrid Barajas) to operate under the Lattitude Hub (Tenerife Sur) brand, the ch-aviation fleets history module shows. While the dry lease was initially signed for four years, Lattitude Hub folded after just a week of operations in 2021.

With the name change, the company said in a statement that it sought to “strengthen its commitment to the destination and position itself in the market with a more recognisable name that directly links the company to its origins.”
