Norse Atlantic claims record month as fares offered until October 2025

Norse Atlantic Airways achieved a record load factor last month as bookings opened for flights 12 months in advance.

The long-haul low fares carrier reported the highest load factor in its history at 89%, up 11 percentage points on September last year.

This came as passenger numbers rose by nine per cent year-on-year to 146,688 across 513 flights including 29 charters.

The operator of transatlantic Boeing 787 Dreamliner services from Gatwick and other European airports said that 81% of flights arrived within 15 minutes of their scheduled arrival time.

The airline started service to Las Vegas from Gatwick in September. 

Founder and chief executive Bjorn Tore Larsen said: “We are delighted to mark another record month for the airline with 89% load factor being the highest in our history. 

“Having begun to reduce our own network flying in line with seasonality I am pleased to highlight that our charter operations have in turn increased this month and will continue to do so.

“In September, Norse Atlantic celebrated having sold more than two million tickets since the company’s inception in 2022. 

“Furthermore, we have released for sale the final flights in our summer 2025 season going up to the end of October, allowing customers to book ahead and take advantage of our great value fares.”
