The Nordics of Arendal received political criticism in the United States.

Two members of Congress called Norse Atlantic in Arendal an “unfair player” in a letter to the US Department of Transportation for fear of a new situation in Norway.

Managing Director Bjørn Tore Larsen at Norse Atlantic believes the two members of Congress are coming up with false accusations.

– We encourage people to stick to the facts and not listen to false accusations. Our door is open and our future operations will provide American jobs and offer Americans cheap flights to Europe, Larsen tells flightglobal.com.

The two politicians thought that Norse would not provide jobs in the United States and would deny Norse the operator’s license.

Norse Atlantic says they will operate under a Norwegian license and hire more Americans as permanent cabin crew and pilots.

OSM Aviation, which is a co-owner of the company, will be responsible for staffing.
