Norse Atlantic Airways is to operate flights to Lagos on behalf of a Nigerian carrier and has won permission to operate to Canada.

Norse Atlantic will update investors on its bid to secure funds or a strategic partner

Norse, which has axed some of its US routes from Gatwick, will fly for Nigeria’s Air Peace from April. 

The deal, which uses Air Peace’s Gatwick slots, will see Norse fly four times a week for an initial two months “with the potential for a longer-term agreement”.

Air Peace chief executive Allen Onyema said: “Air Peace is delighted to have signed this partnership deal with Norse Atlantic Airways for the commencement of our London service.”

Norse said it and Air Peace “will continue to discuss potential longer-term partnerships”.
