Mar 16, 2021 (newstodate): The LCC Norwegian failed in its attempt to make long-haul low cost flights a profitable and sustainable business. Now a fresh effort is in the making..
   Set up by three investors Bjorn Tore Larsen with 54 percent, Bjorn Kjos with 15, and Bjorn Kise with 12 percent, Norse Atlantic Airways is planning for launch of flights on Transatlantic routes connecting destinations including Oslo, New York, Los Angeles, Miami, London, and Paris with an all-Boeing 787 aircraft fleet.
   The Aircraft will presumably be former Norwegian-operated Boeing 787 now back in the hands of lessors as part of their disengagement from Norwegian that is currently being handled by courts in Ireland and Norway.
   Plans are to see a fleet of 12 aircraft, with nine already signed for at favorable market lease rates, according to media reports.
   Norse Atlantic Airways aims at launch of services by December 2021 already.
   The new long-haul airline may be aiming at a cooperation with a resurrected Norwegian that will be back on a regional and European route network after reconstruction later this spring or by early summer, in place to provide feeder traffic into the long-haul routes.
