“We
are delighted to welcome Norse Atlantic’s much-anticipated new
service to Gatwick Airport. North America is a key market for us,
with New York continually among our most popular destinations,”
said Stewart Wingate, CEO, Gatwick Airport. “We
currently operate 40 long-haul routes across the USA, Canada,
Caribbean, Africa, Middle East and Asia, so it’s great news for
our passengers – as well as businesses across the region – that we
are able to add another fantastic long-haul carrier to our
operation, increasing choice and competition. We look forward to
seeing Norse expand its transatlantic offer even further over
coming months, alongside its connections to Oslo.”
Norse recently partnered with easyJet, Norwegian and
Spirit Airlines. The virtual interline agreement, powered by Dohop,
provides over 600 weekly connections to Norse’s transatlantic
services at its key international hubs of Oslo, London, Berlin, New
York, Fort Lauderdale, Orlando and Los Angeles.
“The introduction of affordable Norse Atlantic
Airways point-to point flights between the UK and the United
States, will benefit both local tourism and businesses. Not only
are we directly investing in both countries by employing local
staff but also supporting job creation across the wider tourism
and service industry,” said Bjorn Tore Larsen,
CEO of Norse Atlantic Airways.
