Norse Atlantic closes in on ‘competitive’ 787 leases

Long-haul start up Norse Atlantic Airways is closing in on its first lease agreements, CE Bjorn Tore Larsen has disclosed. Larsen says the Norway-based carrier expects to seal the deals “very soon”. He does not identify the lessors involved but says the lease rates that Norse Atlantic has been able to secure so far are “competitive”. Norse Atlantic is seeking more long-haul aircraft, and Larsen encourages lessors with aircraft available to contact him. Lease terms of approximately 12 years are envisioned, he adds. The start-up airline plans to fill the gap left by Norwegian by operating long-haul services between Europe and the USA from December 2021 using a fleet of Boeing 787s. <br/>
