“In our summer 2026 schedule, we’ve increased capacity and expanded our offering to the Nordic region, giving both leisure and business travellers even more choice,” said Magnus Thome Maursund, Chief Commercial Officer at Norwegian.

The new season will see flights from London Gatwick, Manchester, Edinburgh, and Newcastle to a range of European destinations, including Helsinki, Copenhagen, Oslo, Bergen, and Stavanger.

For Sweden, passengers will enjoy flights from Stockholm Arlanda Airport to Milan and Hamburg four times a week, as well as a route between Göteborg Landvetter and Tirana once a week.

“There is strong confidence and strong interest in the Swedish market and Norwegian’s investment in direct routes from both Stockholm Arlanda Airport and Göteborg Landvetter Airport is a clear sign of this,” commented Elizabeth Axtelius, Director Aviation Business at Swedavia. “Swedavia’s main mission is to enable people to meet, whether for business or pleasure, and with its extensive network, Norwegian plays an important role in connecting Sweden with the rest of Europe.”

“We look forward to welcoming travelers on board to the new destinations, which starts up during the 2026 summer programme,” added Charlotte Holmbergh, Director of Communications at Norwegian. “We are pleased to be able to continue to launch new destinations and therefore be able to offer a large, wide and varied range of routes. In Sweden, Norwegian will operate more than 60 routes to over 50 destinations next summer.”

“Italy has so much to offer tourists from the Nordic countries and based on a growing interest from our customers we launched several new routes last year. This summer we will fly to 11 destinations, operating 19 routes with 13 daily flights to and from Italy,” said Magnus Thome Maursund, Chief Commercial Officer at Norwegian.

Since the first flight to Pisa, Norwegian have since expanded its route network. This summer Northerners and Italians can fly between Milan, Rome, Verona, Naples, Sardinia, Sicilia, Venezia, Bergamo, Bologna and Bari.

“The cooperation with Norwegian stretches back to the very first flight to Italy and it is nice to see the positive development. Never have there been more direct routes between our two countries and the number of direct routes has increased over the years resulting in a growth in the number of Italians visiting Norway. Norway continues to be a popular tourist destination for Italians, and they seek to explore the fjords and mountains and the midnight sun. Norwegians new and broad route program is warmly welcomed by the travellers and the travel agencies alike. And many choose Norway as their destination solely because of the direct routes. The strong Euro is currently also a main factor as Italians in Norway get good value for money, said, Elisabeth Ones, Market Specialist Tourism in Innovation Norway.
