Norse Atlantic Airways has appointed Charles
Duncan as President, a newly created role that will focus on core
areas of the business including commercial, operations, network
and people.
Charles has over 25 years of experience in
the aviation industry and has previously held senior executive roles at WestJet, Swoop, United Airlines and Continental Airlines.
“Norse Atlantic Airways is on track to become the
first successful low-cost long haul-airline and I am very pleased
to be joining at this important stage in the company’s growth,”
Charles said. “The journey to reach the full potential of Norse
Atlantic’s business model is well under away and I look forward to
being part of this dynamic and agile company.”
Founded by CEO and major
shareholder Bjørn Tore Larsen in March 2021, the airline’s first

His extensive industry experience will further strengthen the

summer 2023 schedule and look ahead to winter 2023 and beyond. I
look forward to working closely with Charles as we continue to
focus on profitability by year end by continuing to build a robust
network and organisational structure,” said Mr. Larsen.
