Norse Atlantic Airways has revised its winter schedule, cutting three US routes and reducing flights by 52% compared to the previous year. The routes eliminated are Athens to New York JFK, Berlin to JFK, and Paris CDG to Los Angeles. While Athens to JFK was not expected to operate during winter, the cuts reflect the airline's shift toward charter and leasing agreements.
Norse recently ended its London Gatwick to Las Vegas route, with London Gatwick to Miami ending in October. Despite these reductions, the airline plans to introduce new routes, including Rome to Los Angeles and Athens to Los Angeles.
The airline's US winter flights from December to February will be significantly fewer, emphasizing the importance of adjusting capacity based on seasonal demand. Cirium Diio data indicates that the number of flights in December-February will be 3.9 times lower than those in June-August 2025. This compares to a difference of 2.9 times last year.
