Falkland Islands flagTransports

Couverture des transports en commun, aéroports et qualité des infrastructures pour les expatriés in Falkland Islands

The Falkland Islands feature a rugged transportation landscape tailored to its remote, sparsely populated archipelago (pop. 2,563). Key strengths include 39 airports/airstrips for inter-island connectivity via FIGAS, a 536-mile toll-free road network (mostly gravel), and an inter-island ferry. Challenges encompass limited public transport, unpaved roads requiring 4WD vehicles (drive on left), and reliance on air/sea for outer islands. Mobility emphasizes car rental, flights, and tours for residents/visitors.

No metro, buses, or trains exist. Limited Stanley taxis and FIGAS charter flights serve as primary options. Inter-island ferry (MV Concordia Bay) links East/West Falkland but requires vehicle/advance booking. Minimal scheduled services beyond air charters.

536 miles (862 km) toll-free roads: East Falkland 304 miles, West Falkland 232 miles. Asphalt limited to Stanley and Mount Pleasant Airport (MPA); rest gravel/all-weather requiring 4WD. 'A' roads link key settlements (e.g., Stanley-New Haven 75 miles). Ongoing maintenance by Public Works; no highways. Speed limits: 40 mph general, 25 mph built-up.

Vitesse internet
3.8/10

Average fixed broadband ~25 Mbps; mobile ~20 Mbps. Limited fiber in Stanley; satellite/4G dominant in rural/remote areas. Urban-rural gap significant due to isolation.

Connectivité aéroportuaire

Réseau mobile

Couverture 5G : Limited/non-existent; no confirmed 2024-2026 deployment due to remoteness

Reliable in populated areas; Sure monopoly offers solid 4G in East Falkland settlements, weaker West/outer islands. Satellite backup common.
