Punctuality Matters
In the fast-paced world of air travel, punctuality is a crucial factor in customer satisfaction. Norse Atlantic Airways excelled in this aspect as well, with an impressive 70 percent of flights arriving within 15 minutes of their scheduled arrival time.

Adapting to Market Dynamics
As the aviation industry faces challenges related to rising oil prices, Norse Atlantic Airways stands out with its adaptability and responsiveness.
The airline is well-prepared to navigate the uncertainties of the winter trading period and potential increases in oil prices. This ability to swiftly respond and adjust its network, coupled with meticulous cost control, is a hallmark of Norse Atlantic Airways’ low-cost operating model.
Cargo Market Considerations
In addition to passenger travel, the carrier also plays a significant role in the cargo market. While the global cargo market has seen fluctuations in rates and demand following the post-pandemic surge, Norse Atlantic Airways remains a competitive player.
With its competitive rates and direct route network, the airline offers an attractive value proposition for cargo forwarders.
CEO Summary

Larsen noted the performance achievement of a fourth consecutive month with zero cancellations, saying it is “a testament to our robust operations and dedicated colleagues from across the airline.”
