There is only one airfield on the Faroes - the diversion choices are Keflavik, Bergen or Glasgow/Edinburgh

Interestingly the aircraft has just departed as TVS435P to Punta Cana

I assume another aircraft is being positioned into Glasgow - unlikely to have gone scheduled via Copenhagen or late afternoon tomorrow out of Edinburgh (their match is late afternoon on Tuesday)
