Norse Atlantic capacity down a third in September as it prepares retreat from US market

Norse Atlantic Airways experienced a significant reduction in its operational capacity during September, with overall figures declining by approximately one-third due to a substantial decrease in scheduled flights. This decline was primarily driven by the removal of nearly all transatlantic routes previously central to the carrier’s network strategy. The airline is strategically shifting its focus towards Thailand, where Norse Atlantic anticipates “positive momentum” and intends to deploy winter capacity. Specifically, the company has reduced its operations across key international destinations. This shift reflects a deliberate repositioning as Norse Atlantic prepares for a withdrawal from the US market following a dramatic contraction of its route offerings.
