Norwegian opens new base for long-haul operations at London Gatwick

Norwegian continues to expand internationally and has decided to establish a new long-haul base at London Gatwick Airport. Both pilots and cabin crew will be based at London Gatwick. The airline has become a major player at London Gatwick and is currently the only airline offering low-cost flights between the UK and the U.S. In July this year, Norwegian celebrated its first flights between London Gatwick and three US cities; Los Angeles, New York and Fort Lauderdale. Launching long-haul routes between London Gatwick and the United States is also an important part of Norwegian’s strategy to expand internationally and get a stronger foothold in global markets. Today, Norwegian has a long-haul fleet of seven 787 Dreamliners and ten more on order.
