In a recent interview with USA TODAY Norse Atlantic's CEO Bjorn Tore Larsen also highlighted the favorable dollar-euro exchange rate, which makes traveling to Europe historically cost-effective for visitors from the U.S.

"Americans right now have the strength of the dollar," he said. "There is a huge demand for Americans to go to Europe."

During a presentation to the Economic Club of New York on Wednesday, JetBlue CEO Robin Hayes warned that summer demand is likely to remain high, but that staffing issues at air traffic control, especially in New York, could lead to more headaches.
