Norwegian Expands US Network with Flights to Madrid, Amsterdam and Milan
Norwegian today announced four new routes between the United States and Europe: New York City/JFK and Los Angeles to Madrid; New York City/JFK to Amsterdam; and Los Angeles to Milan – three of Europe’s most exciting cities. Flights will start operating during summer of 2018
To support the continuous growth at Los Angeles International
Airport, Norwegian will open its fourth American crew base with 150
cabin crewmembers during the first quarter of 2018. The airline already
has four crew bases for cabin crew and pilots in the U.S. With more
U.S.-based cabin crew than any other airline, Norwegian is also the only
foreign airline recruiting American pilots to be based in the U.S.
Service from Los Angeles International Airport to Madrid will launch
on July 16, 2018, and will operate four times per week. Service to
Milan-Malpensa Airport will launch on June 18, 2018, and will also
operate four times per week.
With these new routes, Norwegian now offers 61 nonstop transatlantic
routes to 16 European destinations and we now offer nonstop year-round
routes to more European destinations from both the greater New York City
area and Los Angeles, respectively. We will also be the only airline
operating year-round nonstop flights from Los Angeles to Madrid and
Milan. In the case of Milan the city did not have a direct route to Los
Angeles since 2002; sixteen years after that, Norwegian will bring it
back.“2017 has been a year of exponential growth for Norwegian in the United States. Next year, we will continue our vigorous expansion and we plan to make three of Europe’s most exciting cities so much more affordable and easier to reach for American travelers. We are not slowing down our quest to provide Americans with low fares and a high-quality onboard experience. Americans have enjoyed our service so much that Norwegian was one of the world’s most awarded airlines in 2017,” said Bjørn Kjos, Norwegian’s Chief Executive Officer.
In total, the world’s fastest-growing airline launched 25 new routes from the U.S. in 2017, and has announced 11 new transatlantic routes for 2018 for a total of 67 routes – 61 of which are transatlantic.
Service from New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport to Madrid-Barajas Airport will launch on July 18, 2018, and operate three times per week. Service to Amsterdam’s Schipol Airport will launch on May 7, 2018, and will operate four times per week.
"Norwegian now offers transatlantic flights from 16 European cities: Amsterdam, Barcelona, Belfast, Bergen, Copenhagen, Cork, Dublin, Edinburgh, London, Madrid, Milan, Oslo, Paris, Rome, Shannon and Stockholm."
