"The only low cost long-haul carrier across the Atlantic"
Normally, the goal of the director of Norse Atlantic Airlines was to offer the services of the Norwegian company by the end of 2021. But his planes should not fly until spring 2022. “We don't want to start too much. quickly, there is no point in flying empty.
In addition, we have a solid financial base and we can wait a long time if necessary, ”he explained.
For its launch, the new airline is confident.
“We will be the only low cost long haul carrier across the Atlantic and that will be our position, we will not do anything else,” said Bjorn Tore Larsen.
