Norse Atlantic Airways will be launching a new route connecting London Gatwick to Las Vegas starting Sept. 12, 2024. The airline will offer three nonstop weekly flights.
The new service will be designated as Norse flight Z0777 and will feature Norse Atlantic’s Economy and Norse Premium cabins, according to the airline. The low-cost carrier’s Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft are configured with 338 seats.
Norse will compete with both British Airways and Virgin Atlantic, which serve Las Vegas from their hubs at London’s Heathrow Airport.
“We are delighted to see Norse Atlantic’s continued growth at London Gatwick,” said Stephanie Wear, VP of Aviation Development at London Gatwick, in a news release. “Las Vegas is a popular leisure route and it’s fantastic to see direct flights return from September for the winter season.”
“We look forward to welcoming Norse Atlantic Airways to Las Vegas for the first time this September,” said Steve Hill, President and CEO of the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority.
