Norse Atlantic Pulls All LAX Summer Flights as Fuel Costs Soar

The low‑cost long‑haul carrier says West Coast routes carry too much fuel‑price risk.

Overview

  • Norse Atlantic confirmed it removed its Los Angeles flights for the summer season, canceling service to London, Paris, and Rome.
  • The airline cited a sharp jump in oil prices and unpredictable jet‑fuel supply, with reporting tying the strain to the conflict involving Iran.
  • Customers are receiving cancellation notices with options to rebook, take a full refund, or accept a travel credit worth 125% of the fare.
  • The carrier is shifting planes to routes it views as steadier, focusing on New York and Orlando as well as long‑haul service to Bangkok and Cape Town.
  • The exit cuts a low‑fare choice for Southern California travelers and reduces competition at LAX, where major airlines have warned that ticket prices could rise.
