Long-haul, low-cost airline Norse Atlantic Airways recently announced a small expansion to its current network from Los Angeles. This expansion comes with a brand-new route for the carrier that will eventually be the longest one it has served.

 

New Routes

 

Following a brief suspension, Norse Atlantic will resume nonstop service between Los Angeles, California (LAX) and its home in Oslo, Norway (OSL). The carrier stated that the route has become a favorite among its passengers after its launch in 2022.Oslo—Los Angeles will once again be a summer seasonal route. For the Summer of 2025, flights will resume on May 23rd and run until September 26th. Norse will not see any competition on this route.

The only other nonstop link between Los Angeles and the Scandinavian region is that from Copenhagen, Denmark (CPH), operated by Scandinavian Airlines. This will be the third summer in which Norse has operated this route. Tickets will start from roughly $240 one-way including taxes.

 

Also for the summer season, Norse will launch a new route from Rome Fiumicino, Italy (FCO) to Los Angeles. Flights will run three times per week from May 22nd, 2025 with no end date specified. Norse keeping its promise of being a long-haul budget airline is advertising one-way fares from Rome to Los Angeles as low as $160. The vice-versa tickets, Los Angeles to Rome, are starting at $199 one-way.

Bjørn Tore Larsen, CEO of Norse, had a brief comment to make on the new service:

 

"Our passengers will have the opportunity to explore the deep history of Rome and the cultural energy of Los Angeles, all while enjoying our affordable and comfortable flights."

 

Unlike the Oslo service, Norse will see direct competition on this nonstop link between Rome and LA. Italian flag carrier Alitalia currently serves the route daily with an Airbus A350-900.

 

Norse's Longest Flight

Rome to Los Angeles will take the cake as the longest nonstop revenue route operated by Norse Atlantic. The distance between the two airports is 5,522 nautical miles. That equates to roughly 6,355 miles or 10,226 kilometers. The flights will take about 11-12 hours each way.

 

Norse's second-longest flight was between London Gatwick, England (LGW) and Cape Town, South Africa (CPT). This service traversed 5,188 nautical miles (9,607 kilometers) but is not currently operating.

 

Norse also assisted with a one-off mission to Antarctica in 2023 carrying researchers from the Norwegian Polar Institute. This was the first-ever visit of a Boeing 787 to Antarctica.

 

Despite that journey being undoubtedly Norse's longest overall, the flights to and from Antarctica were not nonstop. The aircraft flew from Oslo to Queen Maud Land with a stopover in Cape Town.

Shifting back to the United States, Norse has established itself as a reputable long-haul low-cost airline. Aside from multiple flights to Los Angeles, Norse also operates services to New York (JFK), Orlando (MCO), and Miami (MIA) from various European cities.
