New airline from Norway landing at Stewart

MidHudson News reports in the Daily Freeman that new airline Norse Atlantic Airways has applied to the Federal Aviation Administration for permission to offer service between New York Stewart International Airport and Oslo. The Norway-based carrier wants to start passenger service between the U.S and Europe in the summer of 2022, with round-trip service to Oslo from three U.S. airports: Stewart, Fort Lauderdale, and Los Angeles using Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft. Norwegian Air pulled out of Stewart in 2019, citing the grounding of Boeing’s 737 Max jets after two fatal crashes of that aircraft as its reason for cutting back. Norwegian Air would have been the first airline to use Stewart’s then under construction international arrivals building, which Norse Atlantic Airways will now use.
