On Friday (June 19, 2026), Norse Atlantic Airways announced a significant expansion of their Thailand flying program for Winter 2026/27, adding capacity across the UK, Norway and Sweden in response to continued strong customer demand for travel to Southeast Asia.  This expansion reinforces Thailand’s position as one of the most popular destinations across Norse Atlantic’s network, and reflects the airline’s continued focus on deploying capacity where customer satisfaction and demand are strongest.


In Friday’s announcement, Norse Atlantic Airways’ CEO, Eivind Roald, said,


“Thailand continues to be one of the most popular destinations in our network. We are delighted to offer customers even more opportunities to visit both Bangkok and Phuket this winter, in line with our strategy of adding capacity where demand is strongest.  Whether customers are looking for vibrant city experiences, beautiful beaches or a longer winter escape, the additional flights provide more flexibility, greater choice and affordable direct travel from the UK and Scandinavia.


“Over the past months, we have taken important steps to strengthen the company, improve efficiency and sharpen our commercial focus.  We would like to thank our customers for choosing Norse Atlantic and for the confidence they continue to place in our product.  We are equally grateful to our airport partners in Manchester, London Gatwick, Oslo and Stockholm Arlanda, whose collaboration and support continue to play an important role in our growth journey.”


Norse’s Thailand expansion includes the launch of a new three-times-weekly service between London Gatwick (LGW) and Phuket (HKT), alongside an increase in flights between Manchester (MAN) and Bangkok (BKK) to four weekly services from December 2026.  Additionally, the carrier will continue to service popular sunny winter destinations, such as routes between London Gatwick (LGW) to Bangkok (BKK) and Cape Town (CPT).  In Scandinavia, Norse will also boost frequencies on its Thailand routes from both Oslo and Stockholm.  Flights from Oslo and Stockholm Arlanda to Bangkok and Phuket will both increase to up to five and two weekly flights respectively. 


Norse Atlantic Airways is committed to offering affordable fares on direct, long-haul flights to popular destinations, along with specialized charter and ACMI services for tailored travel needs, and extensive cargo operations.  Founded by major shareholder Bjørn Tore Larsen in March 2021, Norse operates a modern fleet of 12 fuel-efficient Boeing 787 Dreamliners, which seat 338 guests and offer Premium and Economy Class, serving a network of destinations across North America, Europe, Africa, and Asia.  The airline’s first flight took off from Oslo to New York on June 14, 2022.
