On Monday (September 16, 2024), Norse Atlantic Airways announced the successful launch of their inaugural flight from London Gatwick (LGW) to Las Vegas (LAS), which took flight on Thursday, September 12th.

In Monday’s announcement, Norse Atlantic Airways’ Founder and CEO, Bjørn Tore Larsen, said,
“We are delighted to see such an incredible response to our new London to Las Vegas route. The fact that the inaugural flight was completely sold out underscores the strong demand for affordable, direct transatlantic travel.

Also commenting on Norse’s new Las Vegas route, Clark County Department of Aviation Director, Rosemary Vassiliadis, said,
“Norse Atlantic Airways is an exciting addition to our airline carriers at Harry Reid International Airport. Domestic and international travel has been booming with more than 57.6 million passengers served in 2023, and the U.K. continues to be one of the top three international visitor markets to the destination. The addition of convenient flight options ensures more business and leisure travelers can enjoy the sports and entertainment capital of the world.”
Steve Hill, President of the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority, added,
“Congratulations to Norse Atlantic Airways on their inaugural flight from London to Las Vegas.
