Norse Atlantic Airways cuts capacity, eyes Boeing 787 lease amid fuel price surge

Norse Atlantic Airways is operating at reduced capacity because of high jet fuel prices and is negotiating to lease Boeing 787 aircraft that IndiGo will return by the end of October.

The airline has lost about 92% of its market value this year, fuel prices have more than doubled since the war with Iran, unit revenue rose 35% year‑on‑year, its load factor reached 96.9%, and it carried 109,202 passengers in the previous month, roughly one‑third fewer than in 2025.
