Dry lease: Norse extends B787-8 leases

Norse Atlantic Airways and its UK branch currently only use the Boeing 787-9 in scheduled flights. Four units are subleased to Air Europa, among others, and it will stay that way.

The group announced that it had extended the contracts of three Boeing 787-8s that are currently sublet to Air Europa. The return is scheduled for May 2025. The contract for a B787-9 was also extended. This Dreamliner is expected to be returned in May 2024, two months later than originally agreed. According to Norse Atlantic Airways, this leasing aircraft will then be integrated into its own flight operations. The aim is to have additional capacity available in the summer of 2024.
