Norse Atlantic is pleased to announce that the US Department of Transport has

States.

Association of Norway, BALPA and Unite unions; airports, business leaders,

politicians and many others; the decision by the US DOT makes it possible for

the company to plan routes between London Gatwick and the U.S. that will benefit

consumers, businesses and local economies.

financially and operationally sound business; it was also concluded that it was

clearly in the interest of US citizens that Norse UK be allowed to operate.

"We are very thankful for the support that we have received on both sides of the

Atlantic throughout our application. This milestone represents a huge step in

creating competition in the transatlantic market that will benefit consumers,

stimulate business travel and lead to job creation. We are pleased that we will

continue to deliver on our pledge to democratize transatlantic travel and we

look forward expanding our point-to-point route network between London Gatwick

and the US as part of our summer 2023 schedule," said Bjorn Tore Larsen, CEO
