Bjorn Tore Larsen, CEO of Norse Atlantic Airways.

“Customers are now able to plan ahead and book their summer travels to our popular destinations with the initial launch of our summer route network. Whether travelling for work or leisure our direct flights offer exceptional value in both our Premium and Economy cabins. In the coming months we will be announcing other new and exciting destinations for the summer 2023 network and we look forward to sharing those details very soon,”

A cautious start

Examining this network, this is pretty much the “core” of the Norse Atlantic offering, with core routes and destinations served rather than the offering in Summer 2022.

Whilst the airline may be operating economical Boeing 787 aircraft, it’s a very cautious build-out of its network, with no sign of Los Angeles or Paris and minimal operations to Florida.

With people’s budgets tightening, the demand for value travel will be high. There is a place for Norse Atlantic- providing it can operate at a low enough cost so they can make money – rather than lose it.
