Massive Gatwick expansion for Norse

Norse Atlantic Airways have announced a huge expansion of its Gatwick operation with seven US destinations now on sale.

Bjorn Tore Larsen, CEO, Norse Atlantic Airways, is emphatic: “This (announcement) marks an important day for the UK aviation industry and for consumers as we celebrate serving more destinations to the US from London Gatwick this summer than any other airline. The addition of direct flights to Los Angeles, San Francisco, Washington, DC and Boston to our already well booked New York, Orlando and Fort Lauderdale/Miami services will provide greater choice and value for consumers.

“The Norse team are disruptors.   We look forward to making our unbeatable product available to even more customers this summer, as we build the industry’s first successful low cost-long-haul airline.

“We have made a significant investment in our UK airline, based at Gatwick Airport, and now employ over 370 colleagues at our London base.  I am very pleased that we are fulfilling our pledge to create competition in the transatlantic market that will benefit consumers, stimulate business travel and lead to job creation on both sides of the Atlantic.”

The airline offers two cabin choices, Economy and Premium. Passengers can choose from a simple range of fares, Light, Classic and Plus, that reflect the way that they want to travel, and which options are important to them.
