Norse Atlantic Airways granted UK air operator certificate
Norse Atlantic Airways has received an Air Operator Certificate (AOC) and Operating Licence (OL) from the UK CAA
Norse plans to operate between London Gatwick and a number of US destinations, subject to further regulatory approvals, particularly on routes that are currently not served by direct flights or lacking sufficient capacity.
“The United Kingdom will be a vital part of our network going forward and the granting of an AOC and Operating Licence by the UK Civil Aviation Authority to Norse Atlantic will provide further choice and affordable prices to consumers,” said Bjorn Tore Larsen, CEO Norse Atlantic Airways.
“We are proud to be employing local pilots and cabin crew at our London Gatwick base and have established close working relationships with the British pilot union BALPA.”
Norse Atlantic now holds two AOCs, including one in Norway.
The airline exclusively operates Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft and offers two cabin choices, Economy and Premium.
