Norse Atlantic Airways, a new low-cost airline, has launched its first flight from Rome Fiumicino Airport (FCO) to New York John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK). The airline, which was founded in 2020, aims to offer affordable transatlantic flights between Europe and the United States.<\/p>\n

The inaugural flight took off on July 29, 2021, and was operated by a Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft. The flight time was approximately 9 hours and 30 minutes, covering a distance of over 4,000 miles. The airline plans to operate four flights per week between Rome and New York.<\/p>\n

Norse Atlantic Airways was founded by Bj\u00f8rn Tore Larsen, who was also the founder of Norwegian Air Shuttle. The airline is based in Norway and has a fleet of six Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft. The airline plans to expand its route network to other destinations in Europe and the United States.<\/p>\n

The launch of Norse Atlantic Airways comes at a time when the airline industry is recovering from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Many airlines have been forced to cut back on their operations or even cease operations altogether. However, Norse Atlantic Airways sees an opportunity to offer affordable transatlantic flights to passengers who are looking for a budget-friendly option.<\/p>\n

The airline offers two classes of service: economy and premium economy. Economy class passengers can expect to have a seat pitch of 31 inches and a seat width of 17 inches. Premium economy passengers will have a seat pitch of 46 inches and a seat width of 19 inches. Both classes of service offer in-flight entertainment and meals.<\/p>\n

Passengers flying with Norse Atlantic Airways will also have the option to purchase additional services such as extra legroom seats, priority boarding, and baggage allowance upgrades.<\/p>\n

In terms of safety measures, Norse Atlantic Airways has implemented a range of measures to ensure the safety of its passengers and crew. These measures include enhanced cleaning procedures, mandatory face masks, and social distancing measures.<\/p>\n

Overall, the launch of Norse Atlantic Airways is a welcome addition to the airline industry. The airline’s focus on offering affordable transatlantic flights will appeal to budget-conscious travelers who are looking for a reliable and comfortable option. With plans to expand its route network, Norse Atlantic Airways is poised to become a major player in the transatlantic market.<\/p>\n
