With fares beginning at €239 one way for Economy class and €458 for Norse Premium, passengers have access to a variety of pricing options. The introduction of this route is expected to enhance travel between the two cities, making it easier for tourists and business travelers to reach their destinations.

Bjorn Tore Larsen, CEO and founder of Norse Atlantic Airways, expressed excitement about the new service, highlighting the airline's commitment to providing efficient and enjoyable travel experiences. Athens International Airport officials also welcomed the new route, emphasizing its significance in boosting connectivity between Greece and the United States.

This development is set to increase travel options and improve accessibility for passengers looking to explore the cultural and economic hubs of Athens and New York.
