Jan 17, 2022 (newstodate): The coming new Norwegian long-haul carrier Norse Atlantic Airways is now one more important step closer toward its goal: launch of Europe-US flights in summer 2022.
A major breakthrough is the US DOT's approval on January 14, 2022, for the transatlantic flights on routes from Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport to Oslo, Paris, and London.
In the plans are also flights from Oslo Airport to Ontario near Los Angeles, and to Newburgh near New York - both secondary airports serving major destinations at competitive airport charges.
In May 2021, Norse Atlantic succeeded in landing a pre-hire agreement with the U.S. Association of Flight Attendants, and on December 29, 2021, Norse Atlantic Airways received its AOC by the Norwegian FAA.
With its first two Boeing 787 aircraft now in place at Oslo Airport, the airline plans to be operating a fleet of 15 aircraft by summer 2022.
