Norse Atlantic continues to connect the US with Europe and has added another transatlantic flight to its network – Los Angeles to Paris. The carrier now flies several long-haul routes using its Boeing 787 Dreamliners and is expecting another busy summer season in the months to come.
Los Angeles-Paris service launched
On May 1, Norse Atlantic Airways launched its first flight between Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) and Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG). This service has now been added to the carrier’s long list of US flights as it continues to expand its transatlantic offerings.

Staying true to its low-cost business model, Norse offered starting fares on this route at $239 one-way economy (including taxes and fees) and $705 one-way on Norse Premium. Bjorn Tore Larsen, Founder and CEO of Norse Atlantic, commented,
“The beautiful city of Paris is now even more accessible from Los Angeles thanks to the great value fares on Norse. Whether traveling for work or pleasure, our Premium and Economy cabins offer a relaxed and spacious experience on board our Boeing 787 Dreamliners. With up to six flights a week from the heart of Hollywood to the City of Love there has never been a better time to experience the magic of the French capital.”
Schedule and equipment
The airline will operate this route four times a week, with flights departing LAX at 21:10 and arriving in Paris at 17:00 local time. The service from Paris is scheduled to depart at 16:15 and arrive in Los Angeles at 19:05.
Norse Atlantic operates an all-Boeing 787-9 fleet, offering two cabin choices: economy and Norse Premium. Each seat includes a personal entertainment option, and Norse Premium passengers can enjoy a 43” seat pitch and 12” recline.
Being a budget carrier, Norse also offers its passengers the flexibility of choosing and paying for the product and services they want, such as light fares or Flextra fares that include the maximum baggage allowance, two meal services, an enhanced airport and onboard experience, and increased ticket flexibility.

Expanding network
Norse has added several long-haul flights to its network since starting operations in 2022. Many of its routes are also seasonal, catering to the rise in demand during the summer months. The airline deploys its planes on many US-European routes, such as Oslo-Miami, and Paris-New York (JFK), among many others. It also operates Oslo-Bangkok flights.

Norse holds two Air Operator’s Certificates (AOCs) – one in Norway and one in the UK, which it uses to operate out of London Gatwick Airport (LGW). The airline connects London with US destinations like New York, Las Vegas, Orlando, and Miami, among others, and recently also announced its first African route out of LGW to Cape Town in South Africa.
The carrier, however, is not yet profitable and reported a net loss of $168.6 million in 2023, which was still better than the $175.0 million net loss the year before. Simple Flying’s route analyst, James Pearson, has done a detailed analysis of this in the article below.
