Norse Atlantic has set its sights on JFK Terminal 6 in 2026, and it’ll make the process of getting to Europe all the more pleasing.
Currently, Norse Atlantic is the 15th largest air carrier in JFK and offers nonstop flights to Athens, Berlin, London Gatwick, Oslo, Paris and Rome. Its venture to Terminal 6 is part of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey’s $19 billion transformation, and it promises stunning results.
What can visitors expect once 2026 rolls around? 100,000 square feet of NYC-inspired shopping, dining, lounges, and amenities, eye-catching artwork, a state-of-the-art automated baggage system, and — perhaps most enticing of all — a less than five-minute average walk from the TSA security checkpoint exit to all gates.
“JFK remains a cornerstone in our network strategy, serving as a gateway between the United States and Europe,” said Chief Commercial Officer at Norse Atlantic Airways, Bård Nordhagen. “Establishing Terminal 6 as our main hub in 2026 will enable us to offer an even more seamless and modern travel experience to our passengers. We are proud to continue our growth at JFK, reinforcing its status as a key hub that supports our vision of making continents and cultures accessible to more people.”
Good thing a few Euro locales are set to be among the top 10 trendiest vacation destinations, right? (Not that you needed any convincing to venture abroad)
But just so you’re aware, U.S. passport holders will need a special travel authorization when heading to Europe beginning in 2025.
