UK expansion for Norwegian

Following its proven policy of establishing low-frequency routes, Norwegian Air is expanding services from Manchester and Edinburgh airports to three popular Spanish destinations in time for the summer getaway.

From 30 April, two weekly flights will take off from Manchester to Barcelona offering nearly 20,000 seats for the summer season. From 2 June, four weekly flights will depart Manchester to Malaga and two weekly flights to Alicante will begin from 3 June. Meanwhile, new flights from Edinburgh to Barcelona take off from 15 June with 15,000 seats available this summer.

Norwegian now operates six routes from Manchester, having flown nearly 100,000 passengers in the past year and offers six routes from Edinburgh, all on brand new Boeing 737-800 aircraft offering passengers free wi-fi at 35,000ft.

From Gatwick, the airline serves 43 destinations, and from Birmingham 30.

Last week the airline introduced a four-times-a-week Boeing Dreamliner service from Gatwick to Boston destined to become year-round.  www.norwegian.com
