Norse flies North Atlantic *

Oslo-based Norse Atlantic Airways is to make its maiden flight Tuesday 14 June with a service to New York Kennedy Airport.

Norse plans to operate 12 Boeing 787-9s with 56 recliner seats in Premium Class and 282 seats standard seats in Economy. It will also add to the fleet three of the smaller 787-8 models with 32 recliner seats in Premium Economy and 259 standard seats in Economy.

Oslo to New York is scheduled 7hrs 25mins, but the return journey will be quicker with the prevailing westerlies.  Prices start from $129.  

The airline say it opens up to Fort Lauderdale from 18 June, Orlando on 5 July and with Los Angeles coming on line from 9 August.

“This is a major milestone for all of us at Norse Atlantic Airways and a testament to the dedication and determination of colleagues from across the airline who have made this possible. Norse now offers the lowest one-way point to point transatlantic fares in the market. Whether travelling on business, leisure or simply wishing to explore the world, Norse now makes it possible for everyone to explore for less. Our modern, comfortable and more environmentally friendly Boeing 787 Dreamliners are ready to take to the skies and our pilots and cabin crew are looking forward to welcoming customers on board from June”, said Bjorn Tore Larsen, CEO of Norse Atlantic Airways.
