Norse Atlantic Airways will add daily direct flights from JFK to Rome Fiumicino airport from 19 June.
"Passengers on both sides of the Atlantic will enjoy value, excellent in-flight service and comfort”
The JFK to Rome flights - which will make the Eternal City the fifth European capital on which the carrier operates direct services to JFK - will depart Rome at 19.30 and land at JFK at 23.00, while the return flight will depart JFK at 01.00 and land in Rome at 15.45.
"Passengers on both sides of the Norse Atlantic Airways will enjoy value, excellent in-flight service and comfort as they travel between these two cities. The addition of Rome to our network will provide another gateway to Europe and boost our presence in New York," said Bjorn Tore Larsen, CEO of Norse Atlantic Airways.
Dreamliners with economy and premium class
Norse Atlantic Airways operates exclusively with Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft and two cabin classes, Economy and Premium: the latter's cabin configuration features seats with a 43-inch pitch and a 12-inch recline. The choice is between Light, Classic and Plus fares. Light fares are Norse's value option, while Plus fares include a maximum baggage allowance, two meals, enhanced airport and in-flight experiences, and better ticket flexibility
“North American traffic is expected to exceed pre-Covid levels”
"This new direct flight to New York JFK will complete the overall offer between the two cities with an evening outbound service, - said Ivan Bassato, chief aviation officer Aeroporti di Roma. - By choosing Rome Fiumicino, Norse has recognized the operational excellence of our airport and the appeal of our market, as confirmed by North American traffic that is expected to exceed pre-Covid levels.”
The Norse fleet consists of 15 Boeing 787 Dreamliners
Norse was founded by CEO and main shareholder Bjørn Tore Larsen in March 2021: the company operates a fleet of 15 Boeing 787 Dreamliners serving destinations such as New York, Los Angeles, Fort Lauderdale, Orlando, Oslo, London, Berlin, Rome and Paris. The company's first flight took off from Oslo to New York on 14 June 2022.
