The Norse Atlantic flight from Rome will start operations later on in the year with the first flight scheduled to fly on June 19th. That’s just in time to intercept the many holiday makers that travel from the American east coast to Italy during the summer season.
What Is Norse?
Simply put Norse Atlantic Airways is a Norwegian air carrier that operates low cost flights on long haul sectors. The airline serves mainly routes from one side of the Atlantic to the other. The expansion of this Norwegian carrier has focused on serving Europe’s main cities and connecting them to the US at low fares.
To further clear up the concept of how the airline is structured, it follows a bit in the footsteps of what used to be Norwegian.
