The move comes as part of Norse Atlantic’s wider business goal. It is hoped that the added destinations will give consumers more choices; transatlantic markets will be stimulated and there will be job opportunities in the economy. CEO of Norse Atlantic Airways, Bjorn Tore Larsen, said the following:

“This marks an important day for the UK aviation industry and for consumers as we celebrate serving more destinations to the U.S. from London Gatwick this summer than any other airline. The addition of direct flights to Los Angeles, San Francisco, Washington, D.C. and Boston…will provide greater choice and value for consumers.

We have made a significant investment in our UK airline, based at Gatwick Airport, and now employ over 370 colleagues at our London base. I am very pleased that we are fulfilling our pledge to create competition in the transatlantic market that will benefit consumers, stimulate business travel and lead to job creation on both sides of the Atlantic.”

The additions are welcomed in the UK too. CEO of Gatwick Airport, Stewart Wingate, remarked that: “We are delighted to welcome four new Norse Atlantic routes this summer, giving passengers a fantastic choice of seven U.S. destinations at excellent value, whether for holidays, business or visiting family and friends.

“The new services mean Gatwick and Norse will provide an increasingly competitive offering, which is great news for passengers across London and the Southeast, as well as businesses in the region.”

The airline exclusively operates Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft and guarantees a comfortable travel experience for each traveller. Users also have the freedom of choosing cabins: Economy and Premium. They can choose from a simple range of fares (Light, Classic and Plus) that reflect importance and how they’d like to travel. Light fares represent Norse’s value option, while Plus fares include the maximum baggage allowance; two meal services; enhanced passenger experience and increased ticket flexibility.

Norse Atlantic Airways is a new airline that offers affordable fares on long-haul flights, primarily between Europe and the United States. The company was founded by CEO and major shareholder Bjørn Tore Larsen in March 2021. Norse has a fleet of 15 modern, fuel-efficient and more environmentally friendly Boeing 787 Dreamliners that serve destinations including New York, Los Angeles, Fort Lauderdale, Orlando, Oslo, London, Berlin, Rome and Paris.
