Norse Atlantic Airways has announced a reduction in its US flights for the summer of 2025, despite introducing two new routes. The airline, which first began servicing the US in June 2022 following Norwegian's exit from the market, is facing challenges similar to those that plagued its predecessor.

The carrier plans to operate 834 one-way flights in Q3 2025, down by 4% from the previous year's 869 flights. This reduction comes as other airlines have increased their services between Europe and the US by 5%. Norse Atlantic's decrease is primarily attributed to its UK unit (IATA code Z0), which will see a 23% drop in departures. Meanwhile, its original Norwegian unit (IATA code N0) will increase services by 14%.

Despite these reductions, Norse Atlantic is adding new routes: Athens to Los Angeles and Rome Fiumicino to Los Angeles. However, three routes will not be operated during this peak season: London Gatwick to Las Vegas, Oslo to Los Angeles, and Oslo to Miami.

In terms of year-on-year frequency changes, notable adjustments include London Gatwick to New York JFK being reduced from double daily to daily service. Other changes include an increase in Athens to New York JFK flights from three or five weekly last year to six weekly now.

In Q3 2024, Norse Atlantic filled 80% of its seats on US-bound flights compared with an average of 87% for all European-US operators.

"Significant questions remain about whether Norse Atlantic learned enough from its predecessor's mistakes," reflecting concerns over repeating past errors without achieving different results.
