Norse Atlantic Airways, Neos Partner for Winter Flights

DALLAS - Norse Atlantic Airways (N0) has entered an agreement to operate flights on behalf of Italian airline Neos (NO) for the European winter. 

The arrangement will commence on December 18, 2024, and continues until April 1, 2025. Under this agreement, N0 will base one of its Boeing 787 Dreamliners at Milan’s Malpensa Airport (MXP) throughout this period. This 787 will operate various flights on behalf of the Italian carrier. 

This is not the first time the two European carriers have collaborated. N0 has previously operated long-haul charter flights for the Italian leisure airline. This arrangement works well for NO as staff on the N0-operated flights can speak Italian.   

"I am very pleased that Neos and Norse Atlantic have signed this important agreement for a substantial number of flying hours during the winter 2024/2025 season. We have forged a strong partnership with Neos building on our previous charter operations with the company. This longer-term agreement is a testament to the quality and reliability of our charter and ACMI capabilities,” said Bjorn Tore Larsen, CEO and Founder of Norse Atlantic Airways.

Flight Routes

Norse Atlantic Airways will operate the following routes on behalf of Neos:

• Weekly flights from Milan Malpensa (MXP) to Zanzibar (ZNZ) and Mombasa (MBA)

• Weekly flights from MXP to La Romana (LRM) and Montego Bay (MBJ)

• Weekly flights from MXP and Rome Fiumicino (FCO) to Madagascar (NOS)

• Weekly flights from MXP to Dubai (DXB)

“We are pleased with this important collaboration with Norse Atlantic Airways, which represents a further growth opportunity for our business. A new aircraft in our fleet will allow us to guarantee our customers the operational stability that distinguishes us, even in periods of high season, always offering excellent quality standards and high-level services thanks to the fact that their onboard staff also speak Italian,” explains Aldo Sarnataro, Neos Commercial Director.
