bmi regional: niches and new routes. Newer equipment will be needed soon | CAPA - Centre for Aviation

This bit caught my eye:

The Nordic region is growing in importance to bmi regional, which operated its first charter service to the Faroe Islands on 07-Aug-2013 using Embraer E145 equipment. It also operates the Swedish domestic route Kristianstad to Stockholm Arlanda on behalf of Swedish regional carrier Flyglinjen, using its own AOC and crew, and is seeking similar contract flying relationships with other airlines. In addition, the airline is reportedly discussing potentially launching a scheduled Aberdeen-Vágar service.

Atlantic did try a service a few years back in the earlier years when they thought the Faroese had siginificant oil deposits as an extension of what's west of Shetland. Whether this news is true, it would be a bit of a long stretch in an Embraer. Never say never I suppose.
