Boston, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Washington DC will be served from Gatwick this summer by long-haul low-cost carrier Norse Atlantic Airways.

The new transatlantic routes are in addition to services already scheduled to Fort Lauderdale and Orlando from May and an existing New York service.

Three new routes announced for this winter -

Daily Barbados from October 29
Montego Bay 4 weekly from October 29
Kingston 3 weekly from October 31

However, this won’t represent an huge increase on this summer as some of the routes announced for this summer will be summer seasonal only.

However, this won’t represent an huge increase on this summer as some of the routes announced for this summer will be summer seasonal only.

It's more about getting the winter programme to be profitable rather than matching the size of the summer programme.

The previous incarnation of Norwegian basically flew to the same destinations in winter as in summer, albeit with reduced frequencies.

The fact that Norse are looking at different winter routes suggests that the new outfit isn't just a rebranded Norwegian, however we will have to wait and see whether these new routes work for them.

TUI have this covered through holidays. Virgin have it covered with cruising/holidays out of Heathrow (used to be LGW also) as well as VFR. BA have a deep knowledge of the VFR on these routes alongside offering BA holidays.

What is norse to gain?

What is norse to gain?

As I said, it's about them finding profitable (or at least less of a loss) destinations to fly to in the winter, when the destinations they serve in summer have less demand.

Fort Lauderdale will be replaced by Miami in September:

Norse said that flights between LGW and Miami will start on Sept. 18, operating four times per week
