Vágar Airport lies in the high northern latitudes at 62.06° N, 7.28° W, on Atlantic/Faroe time (UTC+1). At this latitude winter brings long nights, de-icing and snow clearance, and the great-circle routes that pass overhead run closer to the pole than a flat map suggests.
Vágar Airport has 1 runway. The longest, 12/30, measures 5,905 ft by 98 ft, which puts the field in the regional category: regional jets and turboprops are the natural fit. The surface is asphalt. It is lit for night operations.
Runway 12/30 is aligned roughly south-east/north-west, which is the clearest hint you get about the prevailing wind here: runways are built to face the wind that blows most often, because aircraft take off and land into it. Every runway here shares that south-east/north-west alignment, so a strong crosswind means a crosswind landing rather than a switch to another strip.
