OSLO, NORWAY: Norse Atlantic Airways, a new low-cost long-haul airline, has started its daily flights between Rome Fiumicino Airport and New York JFK Airport on June 19[th], offering passengers an affordable and comfortable way to travel across the Atlantic.
The airline, which operates Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft, said it is committed to delivering high-quality service and value to its customers, who can choose from two cabin choices, Economy and Premium, and a simple range of fares, Light, Classic and Flextra, that suit their preferences and needs.
The flight from Rome departs at 18.55 and arrives in New York at 22.30, while the flight from New York departs at 00.30 and arrives in Rome at 15.15 the same day. The airline said the evening schedule allows passengers to benefit from a full day in Rome before departure.
Bjørn Tore Larsen, CEO of Norse Atlantic Airways, said he was thrilled to launch the service between two iconic cities with deep historical and cultural ties.
“Our commitment to delivering affordable long-haul travel experiences without compromising on quality is at the core of Norse Atlantic Airways’ vision. We look forward to welcoming passengers on board and providing them with exceptional service and value on this exciting new route,” he said.
Ivan Bassato, Chief Aviation Officer of Aeroporti di Roma, welcomed Norse Atlantic Airways to Rome Fiumicino and said the new flight will strengthen the direct air offer to the United States, which will see record levels during the 2023 summer season.
“We are confident that the carrier’s new offering model, together with the evening schedule that allows to benefit from a full day in Rome before departure, will enrich the market with additional solutions that can intercept a wider market segment and stimulate new demand on direct connections between Rome and the Big Apple,” he said.
