Norse Atlantic delivers 95% load factors and expands U.S. Focus amid strong transatlantic demand

Episode Summary

Norse Atlantic Deputy CEO Kristin Berthelsen joined Steve Darling from Proactive’s OTC studio in New York City to discuss the company’s strong operational performance, growth outlook, and ongoing engagement with investors during her visit for Nordic Investor Day. Berthelsen explained that Norse Atlantic, the transatlantic low-cost airline founded during the COVID-19 pandemic, took advantage of favourable long-term aircraft leasing opportunities to establish a flexible and efficient fleet structure. Now entering its fourth year of operations, Norse focuses on providing affordable, long-haul travel between Europe and the United States, with seasonal routes to Asia. “We have delivered really, I would say, amazing load factors for the last six months above 95%,” said Berthelsen, crediting this success to a data-driven commercial model. Norse has refined its approach with dynamic pricing, targeted marketing, and strategic route optimization, enabling consistently high aircraft utilization across its network. The airline currently operates a dual business model, with six aircraft under wet lease to Indigo and six operating on Norse’s own network, offering both flexibility and stability in revenue generation. Berthelsen highlighted New York as one of Norse’s most important and highest-demand destinations, particularly during the summer peak. The U.S. market plays a central role in the airline’s expansion strategy—not only as a source of passenger traffic but also as a growing base of investor engagement, supported by Norse’s presence on the OTC market. Looking ahead, Berthelsen said the company remains focused on disciplined, organic growth, continuing to evaluate new route opportunities while maintaining a lean cost structure and strong operational performance. #proactiveinvestors #otcqb #otcqx #nrsaf #NorseAtlantic #AirlineStocks #TransatlanticTravel #AviationNews #AviationInvesting #AirlineIndustry #KristinBerthelsen #ProactiveInvestors #AviationGrowth #OTCMarkets
