Norse Atlantic Reveals Details of Winter Schedule this Month

After announcing plans to expand its ex-UK summer schedule, new transatlantic airline Norse Atlantic Airlines will start disclosing the first details of its winter timetable this month.

The UK’s Gatwick-based Norse, which has its headquarters in Oslo, will fly seven American routes this summer after receiving the required approvals to implement its low-cost long-haul business model.

Besides with New York, Norse last month announced it would also fly from Gatwick to Orlando and Fort Lauderdale before adding four more US destinations: Los Angeles, San Francisco, Boston, and Washington, D.C.

The newcomer said that February had record ticket sales, and that the increase in bookings allowed it to increase its emphasis on ancillaries, resulting in “the most successful month” in its brief history.

“Norse Atlantic Airways continues to be on track to deliver on the previously announced business plan and to be profitable by the end of 2023,” it said in a traffic update on Friday (10th March).

Norse claims to be “making significant progress toward becoming the industry’s first successful long-haul, low-cost airline” and to be “the number one airline service the US from Gatwick,” in an effort to replicate the fleeting success that Norwegian Air had with its low-cost long-haul operation out of Gatwick prior to the pandemic.
