Norwegian’s UK subsidiary given final approval for transatlantic operations

Norwegian has been granted a foreign air carrier permit by the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) for its British subsidiary ‘Norwegian UK’ (NUK). The permit allows NUK to operate flights between the UK, Europe and the United States, effective immediately. The ‘Norwegian UK’ (NUK) subsidiary was set up in 2015 to allow Norwegian to build on its growing long-haul operationsby accessing bilateral traffic rights to a series of global markets. Using the new traffic rights, Norwegian has already announced plans for new routes to Singapore launching in September and Argentina starting in February 2018.
