In addition to the new Stavanger-Bergamo route launched today, Norwegian will offer summer 2024 service from Oslo Airport Gardermoen to Milan/Bergamo, Bologna, Bari, Rome, Milan-Malpensa, Naples Pisa, Venice, Verona, Olbia (Sardinia), and Catania (Sicily). From Bergen Airport, the carrier will serve Bergamo and Rome, and for winter 2024/25, the carrier will also offer service between Tromsø and Milan/Bergamo.
In Saturday’s announcement, Norwegian’s Commercial Director, magnus Thome Maursund, said,
“Italy offers everything from vibrant cities, cozy villages with associated history and cultural offerings, to beaches and bays with crystal clear water and sandy beaches along and in the Mediterranean. This summer we fly 14 routes between Norway and Italy, and that includes routes from Bergen, Stavanger and Oslo. Today we make the first flight from Stavanger to Bergamo, and with the three new routes we opened last year, we now fly direct routes to Rome, Venice, Sicily, Sardinia, Naples, Milan, Pisa, Verona, Bergamo, Bari and Bologna. In other words, there are good opportunities to get a taste of the world's best pizza and ice cream this summer.”
