As we approach the end of the year, it’s time to set our sights on what’s coming in 2025. One exciting development is Norse Atlantic Airways’ plan to establish operations in Sweden, with Stockholm ARN to Bangkok (BKK) announced as the first route.
It seems logical that Norse picked BKK as their starting point — with 162,000 passengers in the past 12 months, it is by far the largest long-haul market from ARN.
Inspired by this, we analyzed the long-haul O&D markets (5000+ km) from ARN to uncover further opportunities for Norse or other carriers. Here are some key findings:
The next largest markets are Newark (EWR) and New York JFK, underscoring strong transatlantic demand.
The largest unserved markets? Los Angeles (LAX), San Francisco (SFO), and Boston (BOS) — potential candidates for future expansion.
Strategic long-haul connections like these could further strengthen ARN’s role as a gateway for both leisure and business travel.
