The long-haul startup Norse Atlantic Airways plans to travel between Europe and the United States with 15 Boeing 787s in the coming year. The future livery of the fleet was presented on Tuesday. 

“We firmly believe that as the world gradually reopens, a new and innovative airline is needed to serve the low cost intercontinental market with modern, greener and more fuel efficient aircraft. Our plans are on track and operations will begin when the travel restrictions are lifted and the demand for transatlantic travel returns, ”said CEO Bjørn Tore Larsen. “Due to the current situation, we are assuming that all of our 15 Dreamliner customers will fly between Europe and the USA next summer. We will start our ticket sales around three months before the first flight and will offer exciting destinations that have proven to be attractive. "

The company also stated that all employees should be employed directly by the airline. Behind the start-up are former Norwegian managers who previously mainly relied on temporary work. The company emphasizes a fruitful employer-employee relationship and has reached an agreement with the largest US flight attendant union, AFA. In addition, the company is in dialogue with unions in other countries, the startup said in a broadcast.
