with New York continually among our most popular destinations,”
said Stewart Wingate, CEO, Gatwick Airport. “We

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.”
