The Boeing 787 is one of the most modern, efficient aircraft in the skies and Norse, call the planes, 'Longships', following the tradition of Norsemen and Norsewomen, who explored the world generations before.
The Longships feature a range of innovative technologies that make them more comfortable, greener and quieter, including:
A more comfortable cabin altitude, with cleaner air and better humidity
The largest windows on any jet worldwide, with individual dimmers, to suit your needs throughout the flight
Modern LED lighting, gives the feel of natural daylight in the cabin - helping you to arrive relaxed and refreshed
25% lower CO2 emissions and 50% quieter than the previous generation of aircraft still in operation with many major airlines globally
The brand is inspired by the Oseberg longship in Oslo, a symbol of the long-lasting ingenuity of Viking explorers. In the same spirit of exploration, Norse has named its Boeing 787 Longships after National Parks worldwide.
Nordic culture centres around the love for the outdoors and the freedom it represents.
