Norwegian Air Shuttle ASA, a low-cost carrier operating cheap flights to Oslo, Copenhagen, Stockholm, will start its first long-haul budget flight on May 30 2013. The flight will be between Oslo and New York. Later on June 1st 2013, the low cost carrier will start long haul flights between Oslo and Bangkok. Norwegian started to sell the tickets for its long-haul flights to New York and Bangkok from Oslo and Stockholm in November 2012.
“This is a major milestone in our company’s history and I am very pleased that it is now possible to book tickets to our flights to New York and Bangkok. We look forward to welcoming our passengers on board the brand new Boeing 787 Dreamliner, the most modern and technologically advanced long-haul aircraft in production today,” said CEO Bjørn Kjos.
“Freedom of choice is an important part of Norwegian's business philosophy – also on the intercontinental routes. As we know that travelers have a greater need for ‘that little extra’ on longer flights, we will give those who want the option to order a product which includes larger seats, more leg room, a three-course meal with drinks and checked baggage,” said Kjos.
