Múli Heliport

The closure was a direct result of two main factors: economic non-viability and depopulation. Firstly, the construction of a road to Múli in 1992 provided a reliable, all-weather ground link, making the expensive, subsidized helicopter service less critical. Secondly, the village's population dwindled until it was completely abandoned, with the last permanent residents leaving in 2002. With no population to serve, there was no longer any justification for the heliport's operation.

The site is abandoned and inactive. The physical helipad, a paved or concrete surface with a faded 'H' marking, still exists on a small headland just north of the deserted village houses. The facility is unmaintained and overgrown, serving only as a historical landmark for hikers and tourists who visit the abandoned village of Múli. It receives no air traffic and is not maintained for aviation use.

Múli Heliport was a vital lifeline for what was once one of the most isolated settlements in the Faroe Islands. As part of the government-subsidized helicopter network operated by Atlantic Airways, it provided an essential connection for residents, mail, and supplies, particularly before the road was built. The heliport was a critical piece of public service infrastructure, representing the commitment to keeping remote Faroese communities connected. It handled scheduled passenger flights as part of the domestic helicopter routes, linking Múli with other villages and the main hub at Vágar Airport.

There are no plans or prospects for reopening Múli Heliport. The village it was built to serve remains uninhabited, and there is no demographic or economic reason to reinstate a scheduled air service. The site is considered permanently closed for all regular aviation purposes. While the physical pad could theoretically be used in a dire emergency, it is not officially designated or maintained for such a purpose.
