Norwegian Air Shuttle is expanding their summer 2024 schedule, and will offer over 100,000 flights with the capacity for nearly 19 million guests. The carrier is also launching 47 new routes this summer, including popular destinations in France, Italy and Turkey.
On Thursday (May 2, 2024), Norwegian Air Shuttle announced an expansion of their summer 2024 schedule, including 47 new routes to popular destinations in France, Italy, Turkey and more. As part of their summer 2024 flying program, Norwegian is investing heavily in Denmark, with as many as 17 new routes. In Thursday’s announcement, Norwegian’s Commercial Director, Magnus Thome Maursund, said,
“We have expanded our summer program with a number of exciting destinations. In particular, we see in Norway that the new routes to Lyon and Istanbul from Oslo, and Milan from Stavanger, are popular. Almost guaranteed, sun and heat are still just as popular. In addition, I would like to highlight the investment in Denmark as very important for us this summer. It's great to be Norwegian in Denmark, and we have a strong increase in capacity in what is our second largest market.
“The booking trend looks good for the high season. Our advice is that if you have specific dates you are going to travel on, you should book now. This particularly applies to destinations in Spain and Greece, which fill up first. For the summer holidays, we also have a whole range of exciting destinations in Italy which are good alternatives.”
Of the 47 new summer 2024 routes, 12 began in April, 14 will start in May, and 21 will start in June. Compared to summer 2023, Norwegian will offer 1.6 million additional seats this summer.
Norwegian Air Shuttle was established in September 2002 with four domestic routes and has since carried over 300 million passengers.
