Norwegian is growing internationally and expanding its route network in Europe. The company is adding ten new routes from next spring between Spain and various European countries.

We look forward to both our crew and passengers flying on the new routes,” says Thomas Ramdahl, Chief Commercial Officer in Norwegian.
