Norse Atlantic leases additional B787-9s

Start-up Norse Atlantic Airways has signed a lease-agreement with BOC Aviation for six additional B787-9s. The Dreamliners will be leased for sixteen years and will be delivered in the fourth quarter of 2021.

The airline, which is in the process of preparing to launch, already secured nine B787-9s via AerCap. The exact launch date is dependent on when demand for transatlantic travels picks-up after the pandemic. It was already known that Norse Atlantic was planning to, initially, connect London-Gatwick, Oslo and Paris-Charles de Gaulle with Los Angeles (CA), New York (NY) and destinations in Florida like Orlando (FL).
