Norse to Begin Nonstop Rome-LA Route in Summer 2025

Starting May 22, 2025, Norse Atlantic Airways (N0) will launch three weekly flights over the summer between Rome and Los Angeles, nonstop.

The route connects Rome's historic appeal with the cultural center of Los Angeles, satisfying increasing demand for transatlantic travel at a low cost between these two cultural capitals.

The carrier's Boeing 787 Dreamliners operate the route, offering N0 passengers comfortable seating and personal entertainment systems. N0 will also restart its popular Los Angeles-Oslo route from May to September 2025.

Airline Performance

Norse posted its highest recorded load factor ever in September. A year-over-year increase of 11 percentage points (p.p.) was observed in the average load factor (89%) for the month. Also in September, N0 commemorated the sale of over two million tickets since its establishment in 2022.

The airline has made the final flights in its summer 2025 season available for purchase until the end of October, "enabling customers to capitalize on our exceptional value fares by booking in advance," stated Bjorn Tore Larsen, CEO and Founder of Norse Atlantic.
