History

Establishment

Norse Atlantic Airways was founded in February 2021 [2] by Bjørn Tore Larsen, with Bjørn Kise and Bjørn Kjos holding minority stakes. [3] [4] The airline was announced on 15 March 2021, alongside its plans to begin selling tickets in the fall of 2021 for the start of scheduled commercial flights in December 2021. The airline's plans also included intentions to operate twelve Boeing 787-9s that were previously operated by now defunct Norwegian Air Shuttle and its associated subsidiaries, establishing partnerships with other Norway-based airlines, including Norwegian Air Shuttle and startup airline Flyr, [4] as well as floating the company onto the Oslo Stock Exchange. [5] The airline had announced London, Oslo, and Paris in Europe, alongside Los Angeles, Miami, and New York City in the United States as its planned initial destination cities, [3] with destinations in Asia to follow. [6] To launch the company, its shareholders completed a private placement of 1.275 billion Norwegian kroner ($150 million U.S. dollars) on 26 March 2021. [7] On 29 March 2021, AerCap announced the signing of a lease agreement with Norse Atlantic for the airline's first nine Boeing 787s, consisting of three 787-8s and six 787-9s. [8] Following Norse Atlantic's debut on the Oslo stock market on 12 April 2021, the company raised upwards of 1.4 billion Norwegian kroner ($165 million US dollars) in its initial public offering (IPO). [9] [10]

During August 2021, Norse Atlantic Airways announced that it had secured leasing rights for a further six Boeing 787-9s from BOC Aviation, increasing its planned fleet from twelve to fifteen aircraft, with deliveries beginning in 2021 and the deliveries to be completed during 2022. [11] [12] On 10 August 2021, the airline additionally revealed its updated corporate image and aircraft livery. [13] Subsequently, Norse Atlantic's planned launch of operations was postponed from December 2021 to the summer of 2022, with the company citing travel restrictions related to the COVID-19 pandemic, and the start of ticket sales planned to take place approximately three months prior to launch. [13] [14] The airline also announced that it had applied for an air operator's certificate (AOC) in Norway, and that it planned to apply for an additional AOC in the United Kingdom. [15] [16] By the end of the month, airline still had not publicly specified any airports it would serve, [13] but was later reported by the end of the month to have entered agreements with London's Gatwick Airport. [17] In September 2021, the airline within its application to the United States Department of Transportation (USDOT) for a foreign air carrier permit outlined the operation of flights from Oslo to Fort Lauderdale, Newburgh, and Ontario airports, serving the Miami, New York City, and Los Angeles areas respectively. [18] By November 2021, the airline was reported to have been allocated arrival and departure slots at London Stansted Airport. [19]

On 20 December 2021, the airline's first Boeing 787-9 was ferried to Oslo ahead of its planned spring 2022 launch of operations, [20] [21] and on 29 December 2021, the airline was granted its AOC by the Civil Aviation Authority of Norway. [22] On 14 January 2022, the airline received approval from the USDOT to operate scheduled and chartered service between Europe and the USA. [23] On 15 March 2022, a year following Norse Atlantic's public reveal, the airline announced that it planned to begin ticket sales in April 2022 with the launch of operations to occur during June 2022, and that it had been allocated slots at London's Gatwick Airport. [24] On 11 April 2022, the airline received its approval for its foreign air carrier permit from the USDOT. [25]

Launch of operations

Norse Atlantic Airways opened reservations and announced its initial route network on 28 April 2022, and that flights would launch on 14 June 2022 between Oslo and New York JFK, before later operating services to Fort Lauderdale, Orlando, and Los Angeles as part of its initial network. [26] Notably, the airline deviated from its intentions to operate to Newburgh or Ontario. [27] On 26 May 2022, the airline announced details of operations at its first European destination outside of Oslo, with flights from London Gatwick to both its Oslo base and New York JFK to begin on 12 August 2022. [28] The airline announced its second European destination outside of Oslo on 8 June 2022, with flights from Berlin to both New York JFK and Los Angeles, respectively on 17 and 18 August 2022. [29]

On 28 July 2022, Norse Atlantic launched its first partnerships with other airlines, consisting of easyJet, Norwegian Air Shuttle, and Spirit Airlines to provide connecting traffic between the airlines through services provided by Dohop. [30] For the airline's first winter schedule since launch, starting in October 2022 the airline further reduced its schedule than previously planned in line with the reduced passenger demand, [31] with its Los Angeles and Orlando routes becoming seasonal. [32] [33]

Expansion

In November 2022, the airline announced the addition of both Paris Charles de Gaulle and Rome Fiumicino as destinations to launch in March and June 2023 respectively. [34] [35] On 14 February 2023, Norse Atlantic announced the launch of flights operated by its British subsidiary Norse Atlantic UK to begin in May 2023, with services between London Gatwick and Orlando beginning on 25 May 2023, and Fort Lauderdale on 26 May 2023, [36] however the subsidiary launched in advance of these dates on 26 March 2023, taking over the operation of Norse Atlantic's route between London Gatwick and New York JFK. [37] On 3 May 2023, the airline announced its first services in Asia and the Caribbean, with services between London Gatwick and Barbados, Kingston, and Montego Bay to launch in October 2023, and services between Oslo and Bangkok to begin in November 2023, [38] however the services to the Caribbean were delayed until December 2023, with the planned Kingston service ultimately cancelled. [39] [40] On 21 December 2023, Norse Atlantic announced that it would expand operations to Greece, with services between New York JFK and Athens to begin in May 2024. [41] In 28 March 2024, Norse Atlantic announced that it would expand services between London Gatwick and Las Vegas to begin in September 2024. [42] On 18 October 2024, it was reported that Norse Atlantic would operate a service between Rome and Los Angeles from 22 May 2025. [43]

In addition to its scheduled operations, Norse Atlantic entered wet lease agreements over varying periods for part of its fleet with various airlines, including IndiGo, [44] Neos, [45] and TUI fly Nordic. [46]

Bjørn Tore Larsen is the CEO of Norse Atlantic Airways, having previously served as chairman of OSM Aviation. [11] Charles Duncan is the company's president, with prior experience at Continental Airlines, United Airlines, WestJet, and Swoop. [47]

Organizational structure

Norse Atlantic is headquartered in Arendal, Norway, and is wholly owned by parent company Norse Atlantic ASA. [48] At its establishment during early 2021, the airline was 63% owned by CEO Bjørn Tore Larsen and affiliates, 15% owned by Bjørn Kjos, and 12% by Bjørn Kise. [4] Following the parent company's listing on the Oslo Stock Exchange, Bjørn Tore Larsen remained the majority shareholder with a 12.4% stake, followed by institutional investors such as Delphi Nordic (6.7%), DNB SMB (6.3%), and Skagen Vekst (5.9%) by January 2022. By May 2023, the airline was 19.9% owned by an affiliate of CEO Bjørn Tore Larsen. [49]

Norse Atlantic also established Norse Atlantic UK as a British subsidiary on 10 May 2021, [50] with the company receiving a British AOC and operating licence on 28 September 2022. [51]

For 2022, the airline reported losses of 1.27 billion Norwegian kroner (US$123 million). [52] The company raised US$14.2 million from a new share issue in April 2023. [53] In its first year, the airline carried over 500,000 passengers. [54] [55] [56] In Q2 of the financial year 2023 the airline achieved a positive EBITDAR for the first time and a load factor of 82% and 85% in June and July. [57] In the following quarter (Q3 2023) the company made its first quarterly net profit of US$1.6 million. [58]

Branding

Norse Atlantic's corporate logo is inspired by the Oseberg Ship, with the airline's associated livery and branding inspired by the longships used by the vikings to cross the North Atlantic. [13] The airline's branding was pitched and designed by Markus Lock.

In March 2021, Norse Atlantic announced that it had planned to operate a fleet of 12 Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft, and that it had secured leasing rights for its first nine, consisting of three 787-8s and 6 787-9s from AerCap. [8] In August 2021, the airline leased an additional six 787-9s from BOC Aviation, increasing its total planned fleet to 15 787s, [11] and Norse Atlantic subsequently received its first 787-9 in December 2021. [20]

In April 2022, the airline announced it would lease two 787-8s and two 787-9s to Air Europa for 18 months while Norse Atlantic would undergo its initial startup operations. [73] By 10 October 2022, the airline had received 13 of its 15 aircraft, [32] [33] and on 18 October 2022, it leased out a third 787-8. [74] [75] On 28 October 2022, lessor BOC Aviation announced it had completed delivery of its sixth 787-9 to the airline, [76] with Norse expecting to complete delivery of all 15 787s by the end of 2022, and to operate 10 of its 15 787s starting in 2023. [75]

On 31 October 2023, the airline announced it would operate at most 12 of its 15 aircraft by the summer of 2024, with the remaining three to continue to be leased out until at least 2025, [77] with the leasing terms finalised by February 2024. [78] On 28 August 2024, the airline announced it would no longer operate the 3 remaining 787-8s it had leased out, instead focusing on its fleet of 787-9s. [79]

Service concept

The cabins of Norse Atlantic's Boeing 787s retain the original seating configurations of their previous operators Norwegian Air Shuttle and its associated subsidiaries, and are thus configured in two classes of service, consisting of Premium and Economy classes. [11] Seats in its Premium cabin are configured in a 2–3–2 layout, while its Economy seats are configured in a 3–3–3 layout. As a low-cost carrier, the airline charges fees for extra services and amenities depending on class of service. Seats in both cabins are equipped with an in-flight entertainment system allowing playback of video on demand through personal screens, [80] and the airline has additionally announced intentions to offer in-flight Wi-Fi access. [81]

Criticism

Following Norse Atlantic's public reveal in March 2021, observers and media outlets drew comparisons to the similarity of its business model to Norwegian Air Shuttle and its long-haul operations, [6] which were announced to have ended in January of that year. A factor included the presence of key executives with connections to Norwegian among Norse Atlantic's founders and investors, with Kjos serving as Norwegian's former CEO, Kise formerly serving as Norwegian's chairman, and Larsen the chairman of OSM Aviation, a company responsible for providing staff for many of Norwegian's flight operations prior to Norwegian's restructuring. [82] Other aspects of Norse Atlantic's proposed operations additionally coincided, including its choice of destinations, and the specific Boeing 787 airframes it leased being previously operated by Norwegian, with the planes to retain the same seating configuration when operated by Norse Atlantic. [11] [83]

Additional parallels to Norwegian's past actions were drawn when on 24 March 2021, United States congressman Peter DeFazio urged in a statement that a foreign air carrier permit be denied to Norse Atlantic, on the basis of detrimental effects caused by the 2016 issuing of a foreign air carrier permit to Norwegian Air International, claiming the company had circumvented Norway's labor protections through Irish incorporation. In response to the allegations, Norse Atlantic CEO Bjørn Tore Larsen stated that the airline is an independent Norwegian company and had planned to have permanent employees based in the United States. [84] During May 2021, the airline reached agreements with unions representing flight attendants including those based in the United States, prior to their employment. [85] [86] The British Airline Pilots Association also announced a partnership with the airline in September 2021. [87]
