There is going to be a new service to Norway from Manchester Airport.
Norwegian is expanding its Scandinavian network by bringing in the new new non-stop service to Bergen, with prices starting from £43.90 one way this winter.
The new route will start on October 28, with two weekly flights on a Monday and Friday.
As the gateway to the Fjords of Norway, a UNESCO World Heritage City and a European City of Culture, the Bergen region combines nature, culture and urban life.
Magnus Maursund, SVP commercial Short Haul at Norwegian said: “Norwegian’s new flight to Bergen from Manchester will allow passengers in the North West to take advantage of our affordable fares all while enjoying our award-winning complimentary Wi-Fi and modern comfortable cabin on new state-of the-art aircraft.”
Julian Carr, aviation director at Manchester Airport, said: “It’s great to see Norwegian increase its destination choice from Manchester Airport to include Bergen.
"I am sure this route will prove incredibly popular with the 22 million passengers in our vast catchment area by giving more accessibility to this Scandinavian city.”
