Norse Atlantic Airways and OSM Aviation Academy have agreed to work together to
launch a cadet program that will prepare the flight academy's students for a
future career at the new long-haul airline.
Norse will take to the skies in the second quarter of 2022 and will operate
affordable flights between Europe and North America with a fleet of 15 modern
and more environmentally friendly Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft. Once the
airline is fully operational, the development and developing a cadet program
will commence in close collaboration with OSM Aviation Academy.
"Initiating a career path and mentorship program for our pilots as early as
their initial stages of education and training aligns with our values of
inclusive, ownership and kindness. We believe that taking ownership and
including our future colleagues at an early stage will be a key effort in
securing the talent of tomorrow," said Chief Culture Officer Kristin Berthelsen
at Norse.
"We are thrilled to launch this collaboration with Norse Atlantic Airways, a
company that represents innovation and will create many new jobs in the aviation
industry. We see our students as future colleagues, ensuring that they have the
best career options after graduation. This partnership will motivate them even
further to study diligently and work hard to pursue these opportunities and make
a future for themselves," said Hans Kyrre Hultgren, Managing Director at OSM
Aviation Academy.
Norse's CEO Bjørn Tore Larsen owns 73.5 percent of OSM Aviation Academy through
