2024-08-05 09:00:11
Norse Atlantic Airways is proud to announce the successful completion of a
landmark flight between Norway and Darwin, Australia, chartered by Albastar S.A.
and brokered by Aircontact, Scandinavia's largest and leading air broker firm.
This milestone marks the first time that a nonstop flight from Norway to
Australia has taken place and highlights the efficiency of the state-of-the-art
Boeing 787-900 Dreamliner and the operational excellence of the Norse Atlantic
charter team.
Taking off at 0630 am on Saturday 3[rd] August from Oslo Gardermoen Airport and
landing at Darwin International Airport 0600 am on Sunday 4[th] August, the non
-stop flight covered approximately 14,730 kilometres with a flight time of 16.5
hours, showcasing the long-range performance and efficiency of the Boeing 787
-900. The Dreamliner is uniquely suited to such extended flights, offering
unparalleled passenger comfort, fuel efficiency, and environmental benefits.
"Completing this charter flight between Norway and Darwin, a first in aviation,
is a testament to our commitment to consistently delivering excellent service to
our charter clients. The Boeing 787-900 Dreamliner is the perfect aircraft for
ultra long distance flying and we are proud to demonstrate its capabilities on
this historic route," said Mette Birkedahl, Director Charter and ACMI Norse
Atlantic Airways.
This achievement underscores Norse Atlantic Airways' dedication to expanding its
global reach and providing exceptional service to its customers while continuing
to explore new charter opportunities that leverage the strengths of its modern
fleet.
Key Highlights of the Boeing 787-900:
· Unmatched Range and Efficiency: The Boeing 787-900 is designed for long-haul
flights, with a range of up to 15,400 kilometres. Its advanced aerodynamics and
lightweight composite materials significantly reduce fuel consumption, making it
one of the most efficient aircraft in its class.
· The Dreamliner features larger windows, better cabin pressure, and higher
humidity levels, which enhance passenger comfort and reduce the effects of jet
lag. Its quieter engines ensure a more pleasant and peaceful journey for all on
board.
· The Boeing 787-900 emits 25% lower CO2 emissions compared to previous
-generation aircraft, aligning with our goal to minimize our carbon footprint.
· Equipped with cutting-edge avionics and safety systems, the Boeing 787-900
ensures a high level of operational reliability enabling Norse Atlantic Airways
to provide a consistent and timely service to charter customers.

to land a Boeing 787 Dreamliner on a 'blue ice runway', 3,000 meters long and 60
meters wide, at Troll Airfield Antarctica, on behalf of the Norwegian Polar
Institute. This exceptional flight, brokered by Aircontact, demonstrated both
the technical and operational excellence of Norse Atlantic in executing
challenging charter operations. For more information on that flight please
