Norse to operate 11 aircraft on own network in summer 2025

Norse Atlantic Airways announced (26-Feb-2025) its recently finalised ACMI contracts will leave it with a fleet of 11 aircraft operating its own scheduled network during summer 2025. The longer term fleet allocation under secured contracts will be eight aircraft in its own scheduled network and four aircraft on longer term ACMI. The carrier stated: "We believe this represents a good balance between securing year round fixed revenue from ACMI and maximising the possibilities in our scheduled network". [more - original PR]
