Norse Atlantic Airways celebrated its inaugural flight between London Gatwick and New York JFK on August 12.
The airline said the flight marks a new era for UK customers seeking affordable transatlantic travel between the UK and the US.
Additionally, on the same day, Norse Atlantic launched flights between London Gatwick and Oslo.
The service allows customers to purchase tickets as part of continuous service between Oslo and New York via London.
Flights between London and Oslo are operated by Boeing 787 Dreamliners offering both our Premium and Economy cabins.
Customers can purchase tickets now with fares from only £74 return including taxes. UK customers can also fly from Oslo to Fort Lauderdale, Orlando and Los Angeles.
Bjorn Tore Larsen, CEO of Norse Atlantic Airways, said: “We are very pleased to now be able to welcome customers at London Gatwick on board our Boeing 787 Dreamliners to New York and Oslo.
“Thanks to Norse Atlantic Airways customers have an affordable option allowing them to book a last-minute trip or a holiday of a lifetime with an airline that offers choice, excellent value and a quality service.”
Stewart Wingate, CEO, Gatwick Airport said: “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.
“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.”
Fares to New York start from £357 return for the remainder of the summer schedule, including all applicable taxes.
Norse Atlantic will offer a daily service between the UK and the US. Other US destinations will be announced soon.
