Norse Atlantic reduces US summer flights despite adding new routes

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.
