The airline has ambitious plans to operate four weekly flights, scheduled on Mondays, Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays, throughout the Winter Season, significantly boosting connectivity between the United Kingdom and Jamaica.
The move has been met with enthusiasm by key stakeholders in the Jamaican tourism industry.
Joy Roberts, Executive Director of Jamaica Vacations (JAMVAC), highlighted the importance of Norse Atlantic’s entry into the Jamaican market.
Recognising Jamaica as the number-one Caribbean destination for UK travellers, Roberts expressed excitement about the increased airlift, emphasising the opportunity for Jamaican travellers heading to London with premium economy and economy seat options.

He pointed out the unique appeal of Jamaica, combining pleasure, business, culture, music, and recreational activities that resonate with European travellers.
“We do really believe in having a resilient business model. Now we’re going to do winter, and we want to succeed, we want to learn, and we want to understand how we can expand from there,” Nordhagen stated, underlining Norse Atlantic’s vision for the Jamaican market.
