Q1 2023

. Total cash held at end of quarter at USD 33.2 million

. Subsequent to the quarter end, a USD 20 million revolving credit facility was

liquidity buffer prior to moving into the more cash generative summer season

. Strategic options continue to be developed and explored in collaboration with

"The first quarter has shown major improvement on all metrics compared to the

first quarter of the previous year. ASK was up about 72% year-on-year, and load

factors increased by 19 percentage points with improved revenues per passenger.

Norse Atlantic continued to demonstrate robust operational excellence as 100 %

of the quarter's scheduled planned flights were completed as planned.

This winter we have developed seasonal strategies, with more emphasis on holiday

destinations and charters. Norse Atlantic managed a record high of 107 charter

flights during the quarter. We will refine this strategy further for next

winter, with several longer-term contracts secured or under negotiation.

We are looking forward to the busiest summer season so far in Norse Atlantic´s

short history. During the summer the fleet of aircraft operated in Norse's own

network increases from 10 to 12 aircraft, representing a capacity growth of 20%.

Norse will continue to focus on careful and profitable growth. We are happy to

see that our footprint in the market has increased as the network expands to

include Athens this summer, Las Vegas from the fall, and a new continent as Cape

Town joins the network in the winter. Our goal is to see CASK continuously

decreasing year-on- year for each quarter. Norse remains steadfast in its

commitment to achieve the lowest CASK in the Transatlantic market. Norse is on a

path towards year-round profitability, and a successful summer 2024 is the next

important stepping-stone on that journey," said Bjorn Tore Larsen, CEO and

Founder Norse Atlantic Airways.
