This week, low-cost airline Norse Atlantic Airways is celebrating the one-year anniversary of its commencement of operations. According to its own information, more than 2.630 flights have been carried out so far.

The first commercial connection was served on June 14, 2022 on the Oslo-New York route. 12 destinations in Europe are now connected to the United States of America. So far, around half a million passengers have been on board.

In the United Kingdom, the offshoot Norse Atlantic UK has been launched. This enables the carrier to carry out non-stop flights from the island state to the USA, for example, in addition to the fifth freedom that was previously used. The subsidiary's home base is London Gatwick Airport.

Most of the ten Boeing 787-9s operated by the two Norse airlines have historically been in the service of Norwegian Air Shuttle. The last-named carrier has made massive changes, especially on long-haul routes, and had to drastically downsize – also because of the corona pandemic. Some former managers have found new jobs at Norse.

Berlin was probably not crowned with success, because after only a few weeks you have the connection to Los Angeles reinstated. Fort Lauderdale has one also abandoned. The New York-JFK connection seems to be going quite well for Norse, despite competition from US carriers, because they have been served continuously since entering the market in the German capital.

“We are very excited to celebrate the first anniversary of our Oslo-New York connection. This milestone not only reflects the hard work and dedication of our entire team, but also underscores the growing demand for affordable, high-quality transatlantic flights. We are grateful for the trust our passengers have placed in us and look forward to a busy year,” Bjorn Tore Larsen, CEO and Founder of Norse Atlantic Airways
