We had information about stopping the entry of Norse Atlantic Airways into aviation, but CEO Bjorn Tore Larsen is determined, and he did the deal today.
Norse Atlantic Airways is going to lease six used Boeing 787-9s and three used Boeing 787-8 aircrafts from AerCap, as per the agreement today .
All nine aircraft are powered by Rolls Royce Trent 1000 engines and are scheduled to begin delivery during 2021.
Norse Atlantic Airways, based in Norway, plan to launch long-haul low-cost services, connecting major cities in Europe and the USA.
Peter Anderson, Chief Commercial Officer of AerCap, said, “AerCap is excited to announce the signing of lease agreements for nine Boeing 787 aircraft with Norse Atlantic Airways. With its superior operating characteristics, the B787 is the perfect aircraft for Norse Atlantic Airways to launch a modern long-haul low-cost airline, and we are delighted to be supplying them with their first aircraft. We wish Norse Atlantic Airways every success and look forward to working with them as they roll out their plan in the years to come.”
Bjørn Tore Larsen, Chief Executive Officer of Norse Atlantic said, “We are thrilled to be partnering with a market leader in AerCap to lease our initial fleet of Dreamliners. Norse Atlantic Airways looks forward to providing our passengers with comfortable, affordable, intercontinental travel aboard these state-of-the-art aircraft.”
