“We are pleased to welcome Norse Atlantic Airways to Rome Fiumicino,” said Ivan Bassato, Chief Aviation Officer of Aeroporti di Roma. “This new direct flight to New York JFK will complete the overall offering between the two cities with an outbound evening service which will enrich our customers’ travel options. By choosing Rome FCO, Norse Atlantic Airways is another new airline that has recognized the operational excellence of our airport and the great attractiveness of our market.”

Norse Atlantic offers two cabin choices, Economy and Premium. Passengers can choose from a simple range of fares - Light, Classic and Plus, that reflect the way they want to travel. Light fares represent Norse’s value option, while Plus fares include the maximum baggage allowance, two meal services, an enhanced airport and onboard experience and increased ticket flexibility.

The large and spacious Boeing 787 Dreamliner cabin offers passengers a relaxed and comfortable travel experience, with each seat including a personal state of the art entertainment experience.
