Norse Atlantic, Gatwick’s latest new airline, has also announced affordable, long-haul routes this summer.

Air Transat will also begin flying from Gatwick to Canadian cities Montreal and Quebec from 2 May and 11 May respectively.

The new route to Quebec will be the only direct flight operating between London and the Canadian city.  

British Airways will also be adding a daily service to Islamabad from 27 March and restarting its New York service from 28 May.

Qatar Airways will resume its daily flight to Doha from Gatwick on 5 June.  

Stephanie Wear, VP of Aviation Development, Gatwick Airport said: “Adding the likes of Bangkok, Quebec, Montreal and Islamabad to the fantastic selection of long-haul routes from Gatwick is great news for our passengers, including tourists and businesses across the south-east.  

“The additions of Scoot and Norse Atlantic to the Gatwick family highlights the importance of Gatwick to airlines and we are equally delighted to welcome Qatar Airways back to the airport this summer too.

“As we look to grow back following the impacts of the pandemic, we hope to be able to add more long-haul routes to our range of destinations and continue to reconnect people and places across the world.”  

Tickets to a wide range of other long-haul routes from Gatwick – operated by BA, TUI, WestJet and Air Transat – are also on sale, including Tampa, Phuket, Mauritius and Doha.

Travellers can also purchase tickets to cities across Canada, the Caribbean and Mexico, including Toronto, Vancouver, Cancun, Antigua and Jamaica.  

From March 27, Gatwick is advising passengers to arrive early as the terminals may be busy and to check the terminal they are flying from with their airline before they come to the airport.
