New European low-cost carrier Norse Atlantic Airways just announced its first routes and fares, with plans to connect Norway to four US cities using its Boeing 787-9.
New York's JFK International Airport, Fort Lauderdale, Los Angeles, and Orlando will be connected by Norse this summer. The new competition will bring more options to travelers and herald a new era for consumers seeking good value, choice and friendly service when choosing to travel across the Atlantic.
The lowest one-way point-to-point fares in the market are now offered by Norse.
The startup also revealed that more US destinations, as well as routes from London and Paris to the US, would be announced soon.
The official announcement strays away from the initial route choices. In a filing to the Department of Transportation in January, the carrier revealed plans to serve smaller airports in the Los Angeles and New York metro areas.
Stewart International Airport is about 60 miles north of Manhattan and Ontario International Airport is 50 miles from Los Angeles.
When Norwegian Air Shuttle ceases its long-haul routes in 2020, there will be a gap in the market. Keeping with its Viking theme, the airline will fly Boeing 787-9s, each of which has been named after national parks around the globe, like Raet in Norway and Yosemite in California.
The carrier received its first Dreamliner in December and has a fleet of 15. The planes have two classes, economy and premium. Travelers can choose from three fare options, including Light, Classic, and Plus, which reflect the way that passengers want to travel, and which options are important to them.
Take a closer look at the routes.
On June 14th, Norse will begin thrice-weekly flights between JFK and OSLO. One-way fares start at $129.
On June 18th, there will be three weekly flights between Fort Lauderdale and Norway. One-way fares start at $149.
On July 5th, there will be three weekly flights between the two cities. One-way fares start at $149.
