Norse Atlantic Airways Celebrates Inaugural Nonstop Flight from Athens to New York JFK

Norse Atlantic Airways celebrated the commencement of its inaugural nonstop flights between Athens International Airport (ATH) and New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK).

Operated by the state-of-the-art Boeing 787 Dreamliner, passengers can now enjoy the convenience of a direct and affordable flight between these two vibrant cities. From the historical wonders of Athens to the iconic landmarks of New York, passengers will have the opportunity to explore the rich cultural heritage and diverse attractions each city has to offer.

“We are excited to introduce this new direct service, offering travelers a convenient and efficient way to travel between Athens and New York. With our commitment to delivering exceptional service and comfort, passengers can expect an unforgettable travel experience with Norse Atlantic,” said Bjorn Tore Larsen, CEO and founder of Norse Atlantic Airways. “

On behalf of Athens International Airport, Ioanna Papadopoulou, Director of Communications & Marketing, said: “We are thrilled with the launch of this new direct service connecting AIA and JFK, and we extend our warmest welcome to Norse Atlantic Airways, an exciting new member of the Athens International Airport family. This spectacular development offers the traveling public a great option with an excellent airline product and enhances Athens’ connectivity to the US, a market which currently ranks at the top among our most important and popular markets. Once again, our best wishes to our airline partner for a highly successful season ahead as we reaffirm our unwavering commitment to continue supporting the airline’s growth plans to and from Athens.”

Norse Atlantic exclusively operates modern Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft. The cabin offers passengers a relaxed and comfortable travel experience, with each seat including a personal, state-of-the-art entertainment experience. Our Norse Premium cabin offers an industry-leading 43” seat pitch and 12” recline, allowing passengers to arrive at their destination feeling refreshed and ready to explore their destination.

Norse Atlantic offers two cabin choices: Economy and Norse Premium. Passengers can choose from a simple range of fares, Light, Classic, and Flextra, that reflect the way that they want to travel and which options are important to them. Light fares represent Norse’s value option, while Flextra fares include the maximum baggage allowance, two meal services, and increased ticket flexibility.
