Norse Atlantic ASA: Norse and PIA Sign Partnership for Two Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners
The long-term ACMI deal will help Norse Atlantic offset demand and fuel-price swings as it seeks more contract flying, the airline said.
- On Friday, Norse Atlantic Airways announced it will lease two Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners to Pakistan International Airlines , marking a strategic move to shore up its finances.
- Facing soaring jet fuel costs, Norse is prioritizing ACMI agreements to shield against passenger demand swings after India's IndiGo ended its wet-lease contract in July.
- Operations for PIA are scheduled to begin in November 2026, with Norse operating a fleet of 12 Dreamliners while pursuing additional ACMI contracts with other international carriers.
- The lease coincides with the Arif Habib Consortium taking over management of PIA after the government formally completed the privatization process for the flag carrier.
- Beyond the new lease, Norse formally initiated a process in July to explore a potential sale or merger as it considers strategic options for the business.
