Good news for travelers between the U.S. and Scandinavia: Norwegian will launch new routes between Scandinavia and Los Angeles (LAX), Oakland-San Francisco (OAK) and Orlando (MCO) in spring 2014 operating the 787 Dreamliner on the routes. At the same time, Norwegian will launch a new route between New York (JFK) and Copenhagen.
“The major traffic streams currently go between the US and Europe, and there’s great demand for high quality flights at a low fare between the two continents,” said Norwegian’s CEO Bjørn Kjos. No other airlines offer non-stop flights from Oslo to Los Angeles, San Francisco and Orlando; from Stockholm to Los Angeles and San Francisco or from Copenhagen to Los Angeles.
Norwegian currently operates six weekly flights between Scandinavia and New York as well as five weekly flights between Scandinavia and Bangkok. In November, the airline will commence flights from Oslo, Stockholm and Copenhagen to Fort Lauderdale, FL.
Norwegian’s first long-haul flights took place in May this year.
“So far the response to our New York, Bangkok and Fort Lauderdale routes has been tremendous,” Kjos added. “Most of our flights have been fully booked over the summer. Our offer has not only been well received by Scandinavian passengers traveling to the U.S. or Asia, but also Asians and Americans going to Scandinavia and beyond.”
Tickets to the new destinations and next year’s spring and summer flights to New York, Bangkok and Fort Lauderdale are available at www.norwegian.com.
