Norwegian announces new flights from Newcastle to Copenhagen
Norwegian, one of Europe's leading low-cost airlines, has announced twice-weekly flights to the Danish capital every Monday and Friday.
The new service will be the only regular direct route to Copenhagen from the North East England and Yorkshire regions, providing passengers with the perfect opportunity to experience the award-winning city over a long weekend or week-long trip.
The city offers something for everyone, from exploring the colourful townhouses, bars and restaurants of Nyhavn – the 17th century waterfront, spending quality family time in the world-famous amusement park Tivoli Gardens or visiting the iconic landmarks such as the Little Mermaid statue.
Chris Ion, Aviation Development Manager at Newcastle Airport, said: "We’re thrilled that Norwegian has chosen to invest in Newcastle Airport.
“This new low-cost route to Copenhagen provides brilliant opportunities for leisure, business and trade between the North East of England and Denmark.
“Our customer feedback shows that Copenhagen is a popular destination for the North East travelling public and we look forward to the new route taking off next summer.”
Magnus Thome Maursund, Commercial Director at Norwegian, said “We are beyond pleased to offer this direct and unserved route between Copenhagen and Newcastle connecting the Nordic region with this exiting destination and the wonders of North East England.
“This contributes to increased connectivity and benefits business and tourism in both regions. We are confident that this route will be very well received among our customers.”
Dennis Englund, Market Director UK & US at VisitDenmark, said: “We welcome the new direct route from Newcastle to Copenhagen.
“With a record high number of visitors this year from the UK to Denmark, the interest in experiencing all the wonders of Copenhagen has never been greater.”
