Bjorn Kjus - founder of Norwegian - starts a new airline - Norse Atlantic Airways
This is a quote from the DT; I'm not allowed yet to post links.
" Less than two years after standing down as chief executive of the struggling budget airline, he is setting up a new carrier called Norse Atlantic Airways.Mr Kjos will own a 15pc stake, while former Norwegian chairman Bjorn Kise will own 12pc.
Shipping entrepreneur Bjorn Tore Larsen – whose firm OSM Aviation provided flight crews for Norwegian Air before it collapsed last year – will be chief executive and hold a 53pc stake.
Despite the near total collapse in air travel caused by the pandemic, Norse Atlantic aims to start flying before the end of the year with nine leased Boeing 787 Dreamliners – the same plane used on transatlantic flights by Norwegian Air.
The new airline plans to fly from European hubs including London, Paris and Oslo to US cities including New York, Los Angeles and Miami, while services to Asia could follow suit. It has raised $24m (£17m) from investors and plans to list in Oslo."
