Feb 24, 2022 (newstodate): Norse Atlantic Airways has announced two new appointments to strengthen its leadership team.
   Taking up the position of Chief Financial Officer is Ben Boiling who first entered Norse Atlantic Airways in March 2021 as VP Finance.
   Another appointment is James Lightbourn who is taking on the role of Chief Strategy and Investment Officer after joining the carrier in March 2021 as CFO.
   Norse earlier expected to start services already before the end of 2021, but plans are now to get airborne by Q2, 2022 with a fleet of 15 Boeing 787 aircraft.

   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.
