Norse Atlantic Airways is chopping a route it launched with a lot fanfare again in December. The Norway-based airline confirmed to TPG that it’ll now not function its seasonal route from Miami to Paris.
Norse ran the route 4 occasions each week this winter, serving Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG) and Miami International Airport (MIA). The seasonal service led to April and was slated to renew in December; nevertheless, the airline has pulled the route from its future schedule with no plans to renew flying it.
“Low-cost carriers are cruel of their route assessments, and they’ll drop a route if it fails to fulfill their anticipated stage of profitability,” Henry Harteveldt, a journey business analyst and president of Environment Analysis, stated. “If Paris, Miami is just not understanding for Norse, there is not any sense for the airline to proceed to function it. As an alternative, they may redeploy that 787 to a route they consider will carry out higher.”
Norse Atlantic Airways started flying passengers in 2022, delivering low-cost, long-haul flights throughout the Atlantic utilizing a fleet comprised fully of Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners (many leased from now-defunct Norwegian).

We typically noticed unbelievable offers on the route, with flights as little as $99 every method.
“We have seen within the U.S. with route modifications made by Spirit, Avelo, Frontier and others,” Harteveldt stated. “Low-cost airways do not have the margins to be indulgent relating to the routes they function. The draw back of the fixed modifications is that it is complicated to the buyer and disappointing to prospects.”
